I mostly agree with you, but I think, even if the majority wanted to remove self voting from the platform, it would be a larger task than flipping a switch or pressing a button.

I'm pretty indifferent toward self voting and don't upvote myself often, but it doesn't really seem right having somebody walk around with an eraser. On the other hand, who am I to want to take that eraser away? Surprisingly, the more I think about this, the more conflicted I become.

Hopefully if this becomes widespread enough to require it, the community will be able to make a decision without creating a rift between the two sides.
