Nitpicking over each others' posts will only waste time in better spent discussing this poll. Yes, anybody can have any opinion they wish, even GM candidates. It is also true though, that these stated opinions can be what convinces others to vote no, and that is true for things that the candidate says, as well as anyone who comments in the polls. Critical comments are not useless, especially as most who vote no choose not to include a reason, so please remember this when replying to one.

Oh...
It is hard for me to follow and reply since I am in a place with a very bad reception of mobile Internet...

To Chicka: I think it's only natural to be careful towards a person which you had tensions with earlier. And you are aware we had many tensions before. And with your good sense of self-criticism you have developed as an artist, you sure are aware it wasn't exactly one-sided ;)
I really don't want to start discussions about our past arguments, and my words you quoted, were meant to mean it. This, not getting all offended and defensive, which as I believe is a definition of "getting things personally" :)
This is the stuff no one but you and me cares about. If you want to discuss it, we can take mr gris as a negotiator and go with it on IRC :)

Nard, I know you wanted to do me good, but the reception of your claims was negative :) I do not wish to comment on Chicka ad personam, especially focused of her GM poll, since it would lead to even more nitpicking, tensions and off-topic discussions. And, as mrgrey stated, I am afraid this tactic would discourage people of explaining why they voted "no".

It seems that my English is too bad and that you did not understand me, so to be perfectly clear:

• Expressing different opinions that differ from GHP or actual GM doesn't mean that someone (including Derpella or or Chicka) would not be able to be a GM.
• Having an issue or argument with someone does not mean by itself that someone (including Derpella or Chicka) would not be able to forget it when applying rule as a GM.

Chicka was only quoted as an example because the same reproaches were made to her and she answered rightfully the same as me. Her signature quotation was taken because everyone can be wrong (including Derpella, Mom and me). The problem comes with error persistence.

Marcus Tullius Cicero wrote:Cuiusvis est errare: nullius nisi insipientis, in errore perseverare

(Pope's saying is less aggressive, thus i prefer it)

Titus Livius wrote:Venia dignus est humanus error

Thus I do apologize if my former post was understood as a Chicka criticism. It was not my intention. I think that you understood my post behind what I wrote.

I talked with one person, who said that had doubts, but it felt awkward just coming and talking to me...

So I made formspring account, where you can ask questions anonymously: http://www.formspring.me/derpella

Ask me questions if you are not sure about your vote.
Keep it game/GM duties related, please...

(damn, I will probably regret it :D)

Oh, after asking a question it asks you to log in, but you can press x, the question would be already sent.
