What word am I thinking of?

[Alice Heritage]

V would like a vote.

[Manang Muyang]

V is not eligible to vote at this time.

[Gravy]

'A' would like to be heard.

[Helen_Combe]

T is Tromboning

[Manang Muyang]

A is allowed to join S and E; T is taboo for now.


S E _ _ _ _ A

[Alice Heritage]

B wonders if this is the place to be.

[Manang Muyang]

B should take its business elsewhere for now.

[Helen_Combe]

C is challenging for a place in this word.

[Manang Muyang]

C is not a chosen one for this word.

[Alice Heritage]

H is holding out for a hero.

[Manang Muyang]

NRVTBCH do not belong to this word. We still need four letters in the middle of the SEA.

[Alice Heritage]

If I guess an I, at least we may get a none too polite anagram.

[Manang Muyang]

The anagram will remain decent.

SE _ _ _ IA

[Helen_Combe]

A possible P?

[Alice Heritage]

And maybe a definite D.
