no one else should have had to pressure you in voting properly because I am the one running this joint. What I don't understand is why you would go through such lengths to dodge this subject, when it all could have been resolved with a simple statement of "I have some personal issues that prevent me from going all the way." from the get-go?

I know that my performance in these awards weren't perfect either, but if you're just going to sit there and rant about your personal problems, I could tell you all about how my favorite month of the year was easily turned into one of the worst parts of my adult life, and exactly why I didn't start fully moderating votes until the deadline. I don't know if I can relate to you, or vise versa, but I have principals and procedures to follow. I can't deny that you tried, but I can't accept this excuse at so late a juncture.

The rules are evergrowing with trial and error each season; If a loophole arises, I have to find some way to close it, lest people take advantage of it. Heck, you should have called the loophole to attention instead. You knew it was there, yet you used it instead of trying to help improve the awards. That alone hurts your credibility, as it shows that you still had the chance to tell me that you couldn't do the whole thing before your personal issues got in the way fully.

also,

"the one they call the 'most logical argumentator' of the SFW."

no one ever said that.
