It is just frustrating, because you managed to reframe the vote as "Is Ace a bad person," and once that had happened, nobody in their right mind would vote seriously.

I has kinda gotten to the point where my mere presence is enough to make some people screech in horror.

Maybe you could retire for a while. So you can focus on your "real life," and stop spending so much time here not caring.

Maybe you could bugger off back to ED?

 

Jeez man, you are an idiot.

I know, sorry. I just really felt like the vote was condemning Ace's actions in contrast to some spirit, which is way more ideological than I was willing to get. I wasn't comfortable voting either yes or no, but I didn't want to just abstain because it would seem like it was only my partiality towards Ace was at work. I apologize that my stance ended up making you look like you were the bad guy - you didn't deserve that, you were just trying to help. Sorry.

I am sorry to Blue - I have no quarrel with you.

I know, I understand where you were coming from. It was a difficult concept to phrase, so I take some of the blame for making it seem more ideological than it needed to be.
