I don't think there are more than 5 people who really want to get rid
of Nathan, considering the total number of members I'd say calling
that "widely-held" is a stretch. I waited through the delays along
with everyone else but I don't want to railroad anyone. I find the odd
insistence by a few that he is somehow not acceptable any more
baffling. 

I'm not a contentious person, so why am I being so adamant about this?
Because I know an organization that allows one person to be ganged-up
on will not be safe for anyone again. And it will not be a co-op, no
matter what the web page says.
