People who vote tend to use it as a replacement for more useful feedback 
and to try and shout down a proposal.  Even looking in this thread, it 
would be evident, why I discourage voting.  Not all communication is 
useful. Especially communication that doesn't move beyond taking cheap 
shots in irc and emails as has been happening the last couple of days in 
response.  I don't find "how" as tangential especially when it is used a 
excuse to be unnecessarily rude.

Jesse Keating tried to educate people by publically calling out 
offenders. It doesn't scale and sometimes a cultural misfit. I prefer 
documenting things instead. Less second guessing for everyone involved.
