And even that doesn't get my back up too much.What does though is the idea that the idea that one would be "held off from performing a particular service every once in a while" for no other reason than they keep getting voted in by the general populace...seemingly the acid test for whether they should be doing the job (YMMV).I mentioned it above once, but I think it kind of got lost, so at the risk of repeating myself; if  the general populace wants incumbent judges out of the Judging Panel, a mechanism is already in place for making that happen.But it looks like they largely don't. If you start monkeying with the system because you don't like the results generated by the voting public...well, yeah, my mileage varies on that one quite a bit<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
