Gaia, you are often trying to end discussions. This is not about an election. This is a policy and we must make sure that anyone who votes is aware and is considering each of the major elements of this policy before they vote. When a member comes to the wiki, they see a current activity feed. Only current comments will be seen in the feed. The voting thread is highlighted, so it is present in notifications, but that member may see only that and never become aware of the other discussions and reasons and rationales for the pros and cons of the approval of this policy.

Please don't cherry pick a Sannse quote. I don't know when she said that (or why we should especially care about her opinion, although I feel quite sure that there was another side to her comment. That is what she does. She presents a pro and con type of answer and wants us to decide for ourselves what is right in any given circumstance), and while, I respect that sometimes a thread (that has gotten crazy mean and personal) may need to be closed, this has not been the case in any of these threads.

You might think that we had a week to discuss this policy. Sorry, we have the rest of our lives to discuss this and any policy. The election is over for a year. There shouldn't be any further discussion of those candidates. That process is over. Do you see the difference here? - El

Also, like it or not, members are allowed to change their votes and they should IF and only if they have a change in their own minds. I don't believe that anyone will change their minds just because someone is merely a better writer than someone else. I give my fellow members much more credit than that.
