Oh wow. Never forget our first encounter on this question meta.askubuntu.com/a/8768/72216 when I was a greeny, and you were no mod yet. We might have our disagreements once in a while, but man, you are one of the most dedicated mods. Hate to see you step down, but fully agree with the reasons why. See you around. Many thanks for all your effort.
Discussion for votes for "learning purposes" is great, when discussion is done in general or after the voting is done. Discussing should be in general unless you believe something needs fixing (e.g. incorrectly closed). Independant and unprjudiced judgement is not something I invented, it is a general rule of justice and, as mentioned, practiced in judgement on countless areas. Although we all like to clean up stuff, keeping up high standards on this one should imo always prevail.
