Since there are so many hundreds of other places and ways to hold these heated discussions, it feels wrong to me here. It's hard to watch those I usually respect, and even admire, reduced to pointless bickering at one another. It would be nice if it didn't happen here, I'm not comfortable with how it might look to someone considering membership for support and friends.

When it's finished, the next round will be how unjust the election system is and about how it's a crime that candidate X was elected.

Thanks for addressing this, Doc, and for allowing us this opportunity to weigh in on the decision.
