Since Vod is on my trust list, I will write how I see your case here. Somehow, I was also involved in the @babo case you mentioned, so I followed what was happening. If we were to look dispassionately at Vod's actions in that case, wouldn't it be possible to conclude that he behaved exactly the way a DT member should have? He ^Vod recognized his mistake, admitted it, and corrected it. That qualifies him more for the DT selection than the other way around. I didn't fully follow the case of Etranger, but if he drew negative feedback there, that only confirms my conclusion.

The two of you have some kind of conflict, therefore, it excludes both of you from an objective discussion on a topic like the one you started. Probably, Etranger and babo should give the conclusion, whether they feel extorted.

This is just my view of things, it does not necessarily mean that I am right.
