Ballot stuffing Hi Wasserman I was surprised to read at Wikipedia Categories for discussion Log 2007 April 23 Category Anti Judaism the following comment from you I normally respect many of your views BrownHairedGirl when it comes to categories but in this case and with the other anti X cats you and the other ballot stuffers are dead wrong Wassermann I have replied on the CfD discussion and I d be delighted to see a substantive response to my more detailed explanation of the problems I perceive with the category However the reason I am leaving a message here is that you have made a serious allegation viz that I am engaged in ballot stuffing I would be grateful if you would either substantiate that allegation or withdraw it I do indeed apologize because reading back over that comment I do certainly seem quite harsh I can be kind of mouthy typy sometimes sorry about that I was referring to how editors totally uninvolved with those particular categories basically just went down the list and wrote Delete three times in a row not even thinking twice or three times about it not even caring because they know nothing of the topic s However I now notice that you all seem to be the people that regularly vote on most category related issues so I suppose that you all do certainly have a certain degree of authority expertise when it comes to categories in general Again it was indeed a rude comment and I am sorry about it though to be truthful I did sense a great deal of groupthink going on there at that time i e no one offered any actual REASONS for deletion besides per nom I actually sort of shot myself in the foot right afterwards though because I then went straight down that list of nominated categories and added Strong keep three times in a row just like you all had added Delete three or more times that day all to the same lists all the same people all in a row this is what I meant by ballot stuffing not sockpuppets or anything like that I don t know though I still don t understand all of the features and protocol of Wikipedia so I can seem pretty lost sometimes so please excuse my general ineptness around here I ll do my best to tone down my sometimes smoldering rhetoric in the future though before I go mouthing typing off again I also made a few snide remarks about trivialities such as spelling at the same time that I now regret so if that person is reading this I apologize to them too
