	As a matter of fact, I happened both to mail in my vote AND to
post it on the net.  Thus _I_ was "objective enough to email [my] vote
and then to carry on the discussion here."  _You_, on the other hand,
immediately jumped to conclusions in the absense of evidence - hardly
the proper behavior for anyone past the age of 10.
