Mosca said: "I've heard of mass amnesia before, but this is the first time I've ever seen it in practice." Nope, just selective memory at it's best! Convenient ain't it. :^P

Mosca said: "Anyway, I've never claimed that Legume wasn't part of the issue here--" 99 44/100 % it would seem...

"...management finds Legume abrasive and difficult, and, well, scary; therefore management doubts the wisdom of having Legume represent the site as AOY..." Well, that's your opinion and you're certainly entitled to it, although it's all based on your conjecture and your belief. .

"...therefore management pulls the vote after three days of encouraging customer-members to participate. That looks like discrimination to me--different rules for different people." Well just like you're entitled to your opinion I suppose you're entitled to interpret the facts to suit your beliefs. Tammymc admitted it was a "miscommunication", no big conspiracy...just a simple "foo-bar", you put your own spin on it.

"That's unfair. Would I be equally upset if it had happened to someone else? Honestly, I think I would, yes." It's good to know you think you would, but it would be nice to know you were 100% certain you would...it seems doubtful though.
