"Personally I can't fault them for not wanting to waste community resources on a person who has dedicated himself to trying to destroy the community." Well, they're my resources, too, by that logic, and I'd like to see them distributed fairly, according to the wishes of the membership. If R'osity doesn't like the potential outcome, they shouldn't hold the competition. And if this really IS the issue--Legume's unsuitability as the R'osity poster boy--then they should just come out and say so and not hide behind some lame, half-hearted excuse. They should NOT change horses in midstream when it looks like things might not go their way--especially, as you say, when there are prizes involved. And I really have to challenge the assertion that Legume is trying to "destroy the community." Legume is just being Legume--always pushing the envelopes of politics and good taste, always trying to push the buttons of the easily offended. That's what he does, and if people are offended by him, there are (were) 11 other contestants they could've voted for. "Even so, on a side to note Mosca, didn't you admit to rigging the top 20 some time back with who knows how many fake accounts just to help support your friend here? How are we to even know if the figures in the poll were even acurate?(and no I'm not acusing you, I'm just making everyone else think)" Yep, I got a little carried away by the whole C&D, Hot 20 Joke Patrol thing, and though it seemed all part of the comedy at the time it was an error in judgment--certainly not something I'd do again. If clone voting was the issue here, I assume the admins would've said so. They haven't.
