Sorry, I can't follow your argument / do not understand how this
collides with consensus and why you think it does not apply. 

Can you describe why specifically it does not apply? I don't mean that
we should use the exact implementation of noisebridge, but I'd love if
we'd come up with our own one.

To my knowledge at noisebridge nobody blocked (since it's existence in
2007?) but instead on occation people indicated that they would block
and they'd like to discuss things further.

As I understand it, it is not about blocking ideas but about forming
them so everybody can agree with them (maybe with grinding teeth).
