Sending this a day most people are not even going to check their email 
or forget about it after giving it a short glance is not the same as 
sending it when everyone is on call.
See: Corporations making unpopular announcements on a Friday night, 
hoping most people will not care enough.

And day of the week aside, you started a vote unprompted the same day 
the related complaint showed up, without even having the chance for 
discussion. That's incredibly rushed.

Well, if i have to acknowledge this irregular and very questionable vote 
given all the background that has been provided (A bounty to get him 
kicked? Really? How are we humoring this shit?), i obviously choose K, 
as should everyone else, and also ask we stop this infighting, more so 
now that we have external parties fueling it.
