This from kbennett, apparently one of the mods (see link): "...there is a small minority of members here who take every opportunity to try to derail things and spend a lot of time bitching about this or that aspect of how the site is run. It is ultimately they, not the site administration, who caused the change of policy." Meaning, apparently, that the rules were changed without notice, in the middle of AOY voting, so the bitchers and derailers wouldn't be rewarded for their bad behavior--even though management has never said that rules were broken in this year's AOY voting (except, of course, by them). It's pretty close to an admission from management that this is an issue of personalities, after all. No matter what, Big Scary Freak Legume can't be allowed to win.
