So, how 'bout that whacky LJ election, huh?
I'm feeling the need to state this publicly somewhere, though I'm not sure why, and LJ somehow doesn't feel like the right place for it, which is mostly just cowardice and a bit of shame since I helped kick off the HP community spammage by posting about it to Smutmas early in the game, but... I've decided to null out all of my votes on the advisory board election. There was just too much bad weirdness going on and I decided I didn't want to be part of it anymore.

So yeah, that's where I'm at right now.

	I'm here for you bb. It's been pretty embarrassing all around, I agree. And just think, this is an annual position! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I didn't see your Smutmas post as spammage, because you didn't tell everyone who they should vote for, just that the should participate in an election which (at the time) seemed worth taking seriously. HAHA WE KNOW BETTER NOW! ;D Anyway, it would be nice if LJ would cancel the election and run a better one ... but we all know that isn't going to happen. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	And this time, do it in private. Seriously, it's the public spectacle aspect of the thing that's helped make it into such a travesty. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Exactly. And it got exponentially weirder as time went on. If it had continued another week I think the weirdness would have eventually pushed past the limits of the Earth's atmosphere and swallowed the sun. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I hear you. I was considering starting to post links again to my posts there as a way of showing my gratitude for the baby steps toward reconciliation they are making, but the whole election debacle leaves a sour taste. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I'm actually more sickened by the users' actions than I'm LJ's. And it's still going on. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	OMG, sorry to spam you there. I don't know how that happened. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	S'okay. I appreciate you clarifying the issue, because I admit I was just reading people's blogs and it sounded bad. I might start posting links to my ij posts again, in that case. (Reply to this)(Parent)
