So you used "user" the way the Wikipedia set-up uses "user" ("user" = "editor"), and since I followed suit you now claim that my usage of "user" was an improper use? It was all a trap for me? Geez, I feel ... used.
Was it good for you too? smile.gif

I think we're supposed to be talking about Kurt. smile.gif

Talking about Kurt doesn't satisfy my Randian need for self-fulfillment.

Can't a checkuser see who logs in and when?

No.

Brilliant answer.

So that means a checkuser can "see who logs in and when!"

I don't think you understand how the following things work:
i. double negatives,
ii. rhetorical questions.

his supports seem to stem from "people are being so mean by opposing him a lot."

I supported him because I agreed with his platform and most of the views he expressed in answering questions.

Including mine? Both the one he answered and the ones he didn't?

Emphasis on most. I recall you asked about hating Wikipedia and he removed the question. (See my userpage) I'm not currently Wikipedia's biggest fan, but I wouldn't consider myself a hater either; make of that what you will.

A "no" answer to a question beginning in "can't" does not constitute a double negative - the negatives have to be modifying each other.

Do you suppose people might be holding out because they want to enter vote #264?

If Kurt weren't in this the two current arbs running for re-election would be the top 2 in oppose votes.

It wouldn't surprise me - I myself actually waited an extra week or two to join Wikipedia Review, because I wanted to be the 100th member. At the time I didn't even realize that the board doesn't store that sort of information - I ended up being Member ID #275, and nobody remembers where I was at in the sequence. (I think I ended up being, like, 97th or something.)

And I don't think it's just me... there's always a lull period just before we reach a "landmark" number. Just before the 1,000th member recently, I think we went for almost a week without a single human registrant, whereas normally we get at least one or two a day.

I think a few people are waiting. Just like there are people who wait so they can make support #100 or whatever.

True, and that's a very interesting phenomenon to observe.

Kurt's at 251 opposes with 5 days left. He needs 12 more to tie and 13 to win. I think he'll get there, but one wonders if all the people who truly hate him would have shown up already.

Kurt stands at 262.

One for the tie, and one lucky voter gets to push him over.

While we're on this topic, I'd like to point out an interesting thread about "tactical support" votes.

I believe I am going to wait for the magic number 264 to come in, and then support him as a prize. Maybe include a cookie too, for good measure.

EDIT:
Done.
