I'm not voting. I am abstaining.

If this is a serious vote to nominate moderators, then I propose that this particular vote in this thread be NULL AND VOID on the basis that the voting is secret ballot. It should not be secret. We should be able to see who votes and for whom, in order to maintain voter integrity because we can't be sure if some members are voting for themselves through their multi accounts. Not making any accusations that this is occuring, but this vote should be open to forum scrutiny.

Too late Paphitis. Half of the routinely active membership has already voted.

I know who you voted for, just for laughs.

If a secret ballot is good enough for voting a political party to govern a country..... And..... For entry into the freemasons then I'm sure its good enough for a forum with around a dozen active members.... If you do t cast a vote then you've no argument if the person you wanted to win didn't

edit I've just seen LRs post.... Now if he votes for himself and you (Paphites) vote for him as one of your preferred candidates... Then when Milti pops his head in later he'll probably vote for LR also.... Then we've got a competition on our hands.... Isn't it exciting

I haven’t voted. I’m waiting for the interested contenders to, like GR, follow the tradition of displaying their wares.

Of one thing I am confident. I don’t have to make Richard’s plea.

It's not the same...

In western elections, parties have the right to appoint electoral scrutineers to oversee the vote count and tallying.

In this vote, there is no mechanism from scrutiny at all. We are just asked to accept and trust. Well, the stakes are far too high for that given the level of polarisation between certain members, in particular over critical issues such as the invasion of Ukraine, displacement of millions of people, death and destructions to hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians as their apartment blocks are raised to the ground.

These are things no sane individual can tolerate. I don't tolerate them, but there are members here who do, and there are members here advocating for the death and destruction of the country I am a citizen of and another country I reside in as a permanent resident. As such, I have serious concerns. Moreover, whether I can participate or whether my sane point of view against injustice and war crimes, will be tolerated by the newly asylum elected "moderators".

[Get Real!]

This is my last offer to you Paphitis...

Vote for me, and I can have the latest Moskvitch (with all optional extras including the ashtray) express-delivered to your front door first thing tomorrow morning!

I don't smoke.

And F150 Velociropator, RAM, Silverado is more my stile because that's how I like to roll.

Plus, you may consider throwing in an Audi R8, BMW M3, Corvetted, or Mercedes V8 AMG Sport, GM LS8 Twin Turbo for weekend motoring and then I might consider it.

You can never replace good old fashioned displacement, Get Real.

Hello again Paphites.

It seems you have fears about someone with political views which are opposite of another members becoming a mod and banning persons with opposite views

I certainly don't think this would happen no matter who was "voted in"

Can you not remember a few years back when all sorts of views were being thrown around.... No one was banned as far as I remember... In fact if i remember correctly we did have mods in those days one of whom was a member Piratis who had extreme views.

This forum was built along with other things on vociferous debate

Hugs

Richard
