Uses of the word "misleading" and "sane" with regard to counting the votes 
implies I am engaging in deliberate fraud.

If you wish to have an actual proposal (to prevent future rounds of the vote, 
nullify the vote, and yea/nay for everything), you would include only that, 
and with no opinion or preface in the proposal. Had your proposal not include 
opinions and personal attacks, I would vote for it. The only reason I did the 
vote again was because other people complained about it. This being the exact 
thing my proposal was intended to stop.

No proposal to date has included someone's opinion on the situation in it, 
let alone one that makes allegations of unethical behavior. Opinions, 
including opinions regarding other members, are for the discussion threads, 
not the proposals.

Many in this thread suggested adopting a pre-written code of conduct, as we 
did with the Piwik privacy policy. I think that's a better idea myself. I 
invite someone to find one and propose it, rather than adopt individual 
issues such as "don't give opinions on people and their actions in proposals"

But personal opinions on other members, bad or good, and accusations against 
other members do not belong in proposals.

Tomorrow is the second round, and it is completely out of my hands, 
completely procedural. I am planning on, in a reply, voting for all options, 
in hopes that everyone else will vote for "No changes" only and everything 
being last place will be eliminated, with no changes and no more rounds of 
voting. I think that's the most peaceful solution. But regardless, personal 
attacks, accusations, and opinions on other members good or bad do not belong 
in proposals.
