I'm not sure that this is a fair comment on B747's inquiry. I think he has asked a valid question. Were I in Spiff's position, I'd ask for a temporary holiday from my moderation duties in the TalkBoard Topics forum. B747 has made it quite clear that this is not at all to disparage Spiff, who has shown excellent judgement in his moderation duties these last few eventful days. I would say it's perhaps better to remove the name "Spiff" from the discussion and just consider whether it might be a good idea for the TalkBoard member currently serving as the liaison officer (and hence as moderator for TB Topics) to distance himself from the moderation temporarily during the campaign and voting periods.
