4 April 2007 UTC I think you misunderstood me I did not claim your arguments were illegitimate as a whole merely that they were less legitimate than the others Legitimate was probably the wrong word You made some good points but the request s supporters made better ones Your opposing vote contained the following text Furthermore the reason given for moving is in itself offensive The title is objective and the objection to it seems to be only that it doesn t adequately conform to Laval s own beliefs about what is motivating the contributors to this article In the absence of any evidence that we re bigots I suggest the correct move is for Laval either to demonstrate we re bigots or to apologize for slandering us This violates WP AGF in the first sentence and continues to be something akin to a personal attack I am sure that your comments were sincere but I think both sides allowed themselves to get riled and to speak too rashly Your point about original research was more significant but the term Anti Quebec sentiment does seem to be in fairly widespread use I did check A person doesn t have to vote to voice an opinion The instructions at the top of every poll state Please remember that this survey is not a vote so the fact that I ve inferred opinions from other parts of the debate is not a problem It seems that 205 157 110 11 an IP but one with a very strong history of contructive edits would have made an explicit vote were it not for the hot headed wording of the proposal and GTBacchus an editor who I have yet to see make a mistake also supported a very similar title Laval the move s proponent supported his move of course tjstrf proposed an alternative title which garnered little support and Marc G vry commented more on the debate than the title This makes 3 votes in favour of Anti Quebec sentiment s and one yourself directly opposed Characterising votes for alternative titles as either support or opposition for the quoted proposal can not be accurately done so I omitted those from the count but took them into consideration for the decision of course I don t approve of returning to debates once they ve been closed and I really think you should move on There is plenty of work to be done to the article at whatever title it may be and I m sure you can contribute a great deal to it Therefore I don t wish to discuss this matter any further I reviewed the case in good faith and I made a decision which I stick to I know that this sounds harsh but I can not dedicate this amount of time to business which has already been settled 14 08
