First of all, when folks disagree with you, they disagree, whether it's that you overreacted, that the rule doesn't apply to this poster, or that the context was wrong. This means it's not 42 votes to 29 votes to 16 to one to five to nine.
It's 29 + 16 + 1 + 5 = 51 and 42 + 9 = 51.
This means the board is split 50/50 as to whether we agree with your decisions. I don't think this is, in any way, a runaway in your favor.
I saw there was more in your post, but I'm suffering from a lack of concentration today. Sorry!
