@Michael16 I very humbly beg you to give me a try at being "balanced in judgment". I DO NOT go to church because I attended too many Christian denominations and their arguments. While I believe the basic doctrine of many Christians, I often find myself playing referee, trying to keep peace. Perhaps non-churched could be in your list of "balanced" alternatives. Just a friendly thought, since we seem to share the same ultimate goals.

@JesseSteele I have put you second in my voting sequence. I am afraid the religious preachy guy will win since the voters are all full of religious mob here.

Michael, that kind of hostile language towards others is not helpful. I'm sure there are judgemental adjectives which could be fairly applied to every single one of us. And if you have anything against anybody you've had every opportunity to talk it through.

Treat others as you'd like to be treated - if you expect and enjoy kindness and understanding from others, or would desire more of it, then it's best to give it more freely to them.

The candidate I think you're referring to has also been the most outspoken about having friendlier question closure processes, which if I'm not mistaken is one of your own concerns around improving the site for everybody.

@SteveTaylor him having common thoughts as mine doesn't negate the fact that he doesn't know the basic policy of this site and was unaware of the secular rules etc etc and was behaving like the religious mob, which essentially disqualifies him, but you people deleted that comments and he will surely win. These adjectives only display my honest opinion about the corrupt religious community we find ourselves in. You people have often deleted my comments on this issue to hide all traces of criticism.

@Michael16 We delete your comments whenever they violate the Code of Conduct. Oppose and critique as much as you want, but do it respectfully.

You'd find the same results by posting comments like that on any single SE site, I promise you. It's nothing to do with any of our religious views.

If anything you probably experience more patience here than you'd find elsewhere. Occasionally I opt to fix your comments to convey the same things in a kind and respectful way, rather than deleting them as most would. :)

If the behaviour doesn't improve the standard protocol is a series of escalating suspensions.

I am satisfied and at peace with the results of this election. I hope your fears of there being a religious mob on this site have been somewhat allayed, @Michael16. I am grateful for the opportunity to speak biblical truth on this site as I see it and hope it doesn’t come across as too preachy. Truth, even when discovered through hermeneutics, will often have at least an implicit but often conspicuous application.
