The poll went way out of whack several times, with it swinging back and forward multiple times as arguments were made, completely attributed to the fact I allowed people to recast their vote, at this point I would disregard the current poll results. Initially the overwhelming response was to remove Xander, until he made a statement, from that point it went back and forth but from there on he had a solidified support base which meant there was significant opposition to removing him.
Fast forward to the present day.
I said that I would give Xander, and Dr. Follis by extension, a few weeks to get back on the forums and so something. I can clearly see that Xander does check the forum regularly but as I brought up to another moderator his last mod action was preformed on November of last year,
image from the ACP to corroborate this, and that was only to ban a user.
I could go on but I will save the rest for a more official statement.
