Vote-cancelling might be important, but implementing something "as soon as possible" means that other, significantly more important things get paused.
I hope we stick to the plan. Ten people's butthurt is not worth delaying our mobile app that will be used by millions.
Not every little incidence of swirling site drama and associated 1-3 ragequits (most of whom don't actually quit) requires that we drop everything and fix it in code. In fact, if we follow this procedure, we get nowhere fast.
@sneak - Yes, let us just focus on the restaurant at the top and ignore the corner-stones and the foundation - IT WILL ALL BE GREAT - NOT!
@dan, @ned, @dantheman - What is most important? A Solid foundation, or a failing building?
If you think every instance of weekly finger-pointing on the site is evidence of a failing building—then run.
I agree with your earlier comment above about sticking to a plan, but you are missing the point that the issues absolutely run deeper and are more foundational than the weekly site drama and finger pointing. But again I agree this does not nevertheless, argue for disrupting progress on a bigger and more important plan. My suggestion, as it has been for some time, would be for the team to stay out of the site voting/downvoting/finger-pointing/name-calling drama entirely and focus on the plan. Getting caught up in it only makes matters worse. Let the community sort it out. This will all be forgotten in time, one way or another.
