And the whole concept of the platform is to have a Q&A format, not a curated list of encyclopaedic “canonical questions”. Only those question that are truly unanswerable or get downvotes and no answers really need to be erased
So there's a couple of metas about this, and it's been discussed at length in the chat room, and the mods' chat room.
What it comes down to:
Stackexchange has rules about being nice. We've been very lenient with these rules. We will no longer be.

@GayotFow I think there was a misunderstanding. I don't know why you think I would suggest a reelection. I'm very happy with the current moderator team and there is absolutely no need to change it. Obviously, it's your right to propose a new election any time if you see the need.

@chx I believe some people are taking the site way too seriously. May I remind that we're on a forum discussing a leisure hobby, where the only reward is virtual points on the internet? :)
Before I leave, in general the best way to handle these issues is to stop engaging with whomever you find rude/offensive, flag, and go answer some quality questions with quality answers.
@greatone if it makes you feel any better, I was the one who downvoted you, and I did so because your answer came across as pure rant with little actual advice on what to do.
@GayotFow It's much more easier to convince a guy who hasn't already made up his mind. Unfortunately, your little spat with @Relaxed has shown you don't like to be proved wrong. It should also be noted that ultimately, it is the judge that needs convincing, not the solicitors or barristers. Sometimes, even the judges disagree.
@GayotFow don't do that, avoid Expats; even though some users seem to think comment is the tool to chat/forum/blog/argue/disparage/rant, your answers have immense value and provide the most accurate, official, and verified content. Your sort of expertise is sorely needed there.
