Thanks chief.

I asked about commenting on the results earlier because, even then, one could see the dominant thread of thought. At least among the vocal majority? I scanned the list and recognized most of the names.

Psst, happy, you voted for the same result that silverforce did.

WHo? Silverforce, I don't know him.

I think the breakdown in names supports my arguement.

What argument is that? If anything, the naming breakdown is rather telling. You're aware that Silverforce11 has been lynched by many on this forum for being utterly mistaken about the performance of the 69XX series, right? Look where he voted. Now look where you voted. Now look back to him. Now back to this post.

Swish.

Guys this isn't what public voting is/was about.

There's two choices here, we either be mature about how this process was handled, contemplate the salient points of the voting roll call fwiw and nothing more, OR we can be immature about it and make the conversation be no more cerebral nor respectful than if it was high school all over again.

This was an experiment, don't let me down here guys, I know you can step up.

Voting logs help people defend themselves from innuendo. No one can tell Happy that he says one thing but voted another. The man is consistent in his position.

On the other hand people do change their mind, what seemed rational and justifiable yesterday may not seem so today. That is why the amendment will have an expiration date, after which time the community can re-vote and keep the amendment if it has no "buyers remorse".

I don't want to see anyone being berated, or taken to task over how they voted in this poll. We are better than that, please don't disappoint here guys.

My post was meant to be in good humor, not an aggressive call out. I thought I was pointing to a widely noticed fact (as Keysplayr did earlier in this thread, I might add) in my post, and then gently tapped that fact by combining the nudge with an e-sensation. No offense meant, of course.

I think it's time to leave that whole argument behind. The thought that people can't disregard a specific occasion for taking a general view may be true for a single few.

Instead, be happy that you contributed as a medium to modify the guidelines in a direction that can only raise the level of the discussion.

IMHO it's a good rule, something sensible people do automatically. At least if they are interested in in a constructive discussion about the subject. It's to avoid flame bait and fud spreading. It works equally for all, so there is no team vs. argument to be had.

In this respect we could as well take a look at the breakdown of names and see what kinds of discussions people want. Constructive, with open mind versus ambiguity of sources or the alternative?

But this argument is not fair either, as well as yours. They are both attempts of positioning without enough background. Just what the majority of the forum voted against but in a different incarnation.
