Surely, we can do better than this. Indeed, we must. If you would prefer a less "I am my brother's keeper" approach, consider that in the jurisdictions I am aware of, it is a criminal act to have knowledge of a criminal act and not to inform the authorities. (I am not saying that Chris committed a criminal act. It's just an analogy.) I do think that if Chris was genuinely concerned about the legitimacy of the upcoming CCC moderator elections, he would have notified either ICD or one of the moderators so that action could have been taken. If he took this step, and I just am not aware about it (because I am not "well-connected" or because that is supposed to be a secret or whatever :), then I would say "thanks, Chris" to him. As things stand, it doesn't appear that he did, and we are simply fortunate that Don (or one of the other moderators, or perhaps Steve) did some sleuthing before the votes started to come in. And, for the record, it's my opinion that if (and only if) both Chris and Sean were members in good standing at the time of Sean's nomination of Chris, then the nomination should have been allowed to stand. I don't know if Chris is a member in good standing or not, that is actually a complete question mark to me. From the outside, it appears that Sean was on probation, if not officially, then at least in the minds of the moderators, and this is probably the reason the nomination was ruled out of order.
