Whenever I see Kurt say something disruptive or funny on Wikipedia, I sometimes laugh and say out loud, in a low-toned serenade: "Kurt...!" It's time for another celebration of Wikipedia's most hated character.

Kurt is going for Kelly Martin's record number of oppose votes. He may not know it, and he may not care, but if he stays in the election for the full 14 days, he is virtually guaranteed to be the most opposed candidate for any position of trust in the entire history of Wikipedia. The prospect was not lost on Tombomp (oppose number 174), who says "I'd prefer to see him gain a record on number of opposes." EconomicsGuy dutifully points to Kelly Martin's record of 263 opposes (against 41 supports).

Move over Kelly, you are no longer the most hated person on Wikipedia! "Kurt...!"

QUOTE(One @ Fri 5th December 2008, 3:54pm) *

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


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


QUOTE(Rhindle @ Fri 5th December 2008, 6:57pm) *

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


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