I must stress here that you are of no authority to declare the worth of
any, including my, vote.

As per Verax's suggestion[0] I would ask you to keep the voting thread
clear of any comments.

Please also note that your statement is invalid as per the very proposal
you asked to confirm by this voting[1]:
        "Condemns an OpenNIC member on basis of their character or
        actions,"

See a also full quote of your text below.

Why not do what is obvious instead of finding harsh words: asking me?

You could have asked me, or any speaker of German you trust, both
off-list (even off-e-mail such as on IRC) or in a separate thread for a
commented translation of my vote.

[0] Verax <verax AT 8chan.co>, Wed, 8 Aug 2018 10:00:30 -0400,
    <778551ea-7b73-140d-39cf-ad43e059342b AT 8chan.co>,
    in "Re: [opennic-discuss] [PROPOSAL] Require voting in English"

[1] Actually "Criticizes or comments on [...] vote, [...] in which an
    OpenNIC member is criticized on basis of their character or
    actions." is much stronger. However this is not what you meant
    when you wrote your text. "vote" can mean both, the process of
    voting, and the individual vote by a person this this context.
    It just demonstrates how unqualified this proposal is.
