I don't think coercion is a good thing and I don't think that to ask
other volunteers not to do particular acts is the same as "to force
other volunteers to obey". This is what I thought "Nothing in this
constitution imposes an obligation on anyone to do work for the Project"
meant.
So, the rest of the argument falls because of the above mistake in the
first step. However, the conclusion:-

shows that you can state a good conclusion despite a bad step. Maybe
that conclusion is a common ground?
