[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6724780, member: 6669384"] I was uncomfortable holding a vote by email, with Problem Child not on the mailing list. Felt like a back stab. At the same time though, several people at our table play in other games with him, or at clubs he goes to. I can understand them not wanting to poison their other game tables with the ichor from this ugly, ugly situation. There's a strong argument for a secret ballot. I started the email vote with one simple rule: If someone doesn't approve of the email vote then they shouldn't vote. If I didn't hear from everyone, then the email vote wouldn't count. I'd keep the "Who voted which way" to myself, and I'd play the "bad guy" and deliver the bad news, if it came to that. I had heard from six of the seven players, with the hold out one who is always hard to reach. Then, just now, I heard from Problem Child himself. He was angry at being called a cheater, and was leaving the game. I told him about the vote, that several people had voted for him to stay if he changed his ways, but that he wasn't winning over all. I thanked him for making the whole thing easier. It's over. [/QUOTE]
