Election results, Voting has begun Options

I get the feeling that CHL would be elected easily if he weren't a member here.*

The opposes seem to be based on him being a WR member and him allegedly outing someone.

This was alluded to by Kato, but it bears repeating.

Just wait until they find out we came close to making him a moderator!

Edit: But remember, we denounced him as too nice and too Wikipedian to be a mod! Huzzah!

yeah, I remember that. Would've been an extremely easy auto-oppose:

"Candidate is a staff member on noted hate site Wikipedia Review."

Painting every member of WR with a broad brush is a bit more difficult, considering how many respected Wikipedia editors have posted here at one point or another.

Joy, you just sabotaged his election.

What CHL needs is The Shit Sandwich Defense:

Endorse. Other users have said CHL likes shit sandwiches. Here at WR we know for a fact he will not even touch bread.

(...that should help)

Evidently, it's not that difficult. He went from top four 24 hours ago to languishing in eighth now.

Grace Note really needs a carrot.

They would have found the discussion eventually. Besides, mods, staff, and old timers like me soundly rejected him for being too Wikipedian! He's like Ronald Reagan trying to tell the Communist Party to be less Communist. He failed. Wikipedians should be hailing him as the Hero of the Wiki for standing against the menace that is WR and trying to repent our evil ways!

Don't vote for Luke, Wikipedia! He is too much like you all! We Reviewers denounce him as a traitor to the Revolution!

Do ya think that'll get him back in their good graces?

I fear for Luke and the temptations of the Darkside. I imagine a fight scene between Luke and Jimbo, with light sabers over a precipice, and Jimbo imploring Luke to "join with him". You Star Wars nerds can fill in the rest - I was always more of a Italian neorealism (T-H-L-K-D) kind of guy.

One thing to note is that Casliber, who leads the polls, has been a member here longer than Luke.

With the way SV was depicted here, I'm surprised she supported him and even saying it's time for a change.

No matter how pro-status quo you might be, being on the wrong side of an ArbCom case will change your tune very quickly.

For some strange reason I expected all the hubbub about me to happen. I suppose if you leave due to being unable to deal with drama due to outside reasons, it's pretty much certain that you yourself must be a cause of drama. It's sad that this has to come back to haunt me after eight months of not having to worry about anything, but oh well.

For the record, no, I'm not returning to Wikipedia or here, but I figured I might as well say something. Besides, I'm enjoying retirement too much.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend? By the way, I wonder if she's worried about how well John Vandenberg's candidacy is going right now, considering this and this.

It might seem that way at first glance, but remember, SlimVirgin is about as smart as a Wikipedian can get (putting aside the usual complaints about her tactics and agendas and so forth). CHL and SirFozzie were probably the two WP'ers who were most instrumental in finally demonstrating, with lots and lots of evidence, that Mantanmoreland (T-C-L-K-R-D) really was a sock-master, not to mention that he was Gary Weiss, and supporting their ArbCom bids now is a good (and inexpensive) way for Slimmy to show that she's let go of that whole business and that there's no hard feelings (or at least no public hard feelings). What has she got to lose, really? She knows they're both fundamentally decent people. (And I should also point out that Grace Note (T-C-L-K-R-D) is fundamentally not-so-decent, to say the least! )

It's certainly what I would have done, and of course, anything to keep 'em guessing is usually good when playing the WP political game at such a high level.

Ber - muuuuuuu - daaaaaa....
As I recall, you were one of those folks who'd included a reference to your WP account in a web page (site?) that you created yourself that had your name on it, so you're in what we call "Category D." Not that this makes you a bad person or anything like that, of course... to the contrary! But just so everyone understands, the "D" stands for "Doesn't," as in "Not our job to protect his anonymity if he Doesn't protect it himself," yada yada yada.

Anyway, it is always nice to see you drop by. Hope the weather is nice, wherever you are...

Very meaningful vote there. Should change the minds of some of the people whose reaction was "OMG Outing! Must oppose!"

It was only right that I do so. I did this with the hope that people can let some things in the past stay in the past and look toward the future. I'm sure not everyone agrees that's possible (I'm not sure it'll happen either), but it doesn't hurt.

Yeah, I know. Since then I've associated myself with far more constructive things, and most people don't associate me with Wikipedia anymore. I'm glad; things have been much easier since then.

I didn't trumpet it to the crowds, but SV and I had a long ranging chat about a lot of different things a while back, and hashed out any bad feelings we were nursing against each other, so I appreciate the vote.

Not going to react to the two rather inflammatory opposes, because I think that's what they want, to prove their point.

SV is striving to be Talleyrand, but I think she'll find that she's actually Philippe Égalité.

I feel sorry for Ryan. He was so determined to believe that CHL had done Big Bad Things here, and to have NYB and Coredesat tell him he was wrong must have been difficult.

I'm sure a nice dose of kool aid could cheer him up, though. The badsites meme is still going strong, evidently.
