That my words did not reach several of you (Dooku, Filburt, Sylvester(?)) is most unfortunate. Suzumiya's third vote for Shaggy was in entirely in jest, while being fully aware, no, placing it
because two votes had gone before it, making him a liable early target for no reason. For how can you claim it to be in the greater good of 'promoting discussion' when the subject of discussion has been entirely absent? A weak line of logic on my part, I must confess, but I stand by it as the best available at the time.
Suzumiya on 4 votes
My own vote aside, three votes have now gone down behind which I can find no justification outside of jest or irritation. While Suzumiya continues to prove a considerable trial for my ears, I can at least find some merit in condensing down her speech, and though she may rub me the wrong way, there are far too many dangerous elements to consider elsewhere.
##Unvote: Haruhi Suzumiya##Vote: Buzz LightyearThe Disappearance Of Haruhi Suzumiya until the eve of our destined time is of minor concern, but the spaceman's hollow vote for a target he is fully aware is unable to defend herself is underhanded. Had he the will to convince me of his convictions I would feel otherwise, but not with such a simple shot to the back.
In fact, clearly have I yet to still my soul, as with so little action in so much time I am seeing the shadow of Aku behind almost everyone. Only Shaggy, currently beyond our realm, Dooku and... yes, Suzumiya do not immediately concern me (perhaps that an avatar of evil, a coward and the incarnation of irritation do not cause worry should be a clear sign that my senses are disturbed, but let us leave that aside).
Filburt is mostly fine... yet his latest speech leads me to worry over the strength of his attack on the spaceman while leaving his vote on Sherman. Perhaps simply our eyes weigh them differently, but I struggle to see the viewpoint.
Crocker worries me most of those with serious content. While I do not see eye to eye with such a wicked person as Dooku, I can at least see merit in the line of discussion, with there being an obviously serious intent behind my reasoning, so I dislike that as an avenue to follow at the exclusion of all others. Instinct would see me finding fault with failing to respond to Suzumiya's vote, but it is hard to determine what to say to a vote chosen randomly from several people (assuming I parsed that correctly). That the vote charged
Coop, Cosgrove, Sylvester and Bender have yet to truly take part at all.
Hill and Sherman are perhaps worse, having contributed nothing but with a serious (yet hollow) accusation in place. Still better than the spaceman by a factor of timing if nothing else.
In short I lend my voice to the call for greater participation, for how may we corner the forces of evil when so many present look the same?
