Now, I'm not sure what you're talking about; but it seems to be only one instance you're going off on. If you have a problem with what Maria did, don't bring the rest of the CPW users into it because they, unlike you, feel that this indiscresion automatically makes her unfit.

You're out of line here and you've made your point. Now stop before you take this too far. Voting "against the aquisition of more power"? Is this Occupy Creepypasta or something? "Out of line"? "Take this too far"? How and why would I take it farther? What do you expect me to do, set off an atom bomb or something?

Answer this: Do you agree that trying to unsettle a person who is in a debate to convince them to do something, in particular by trying to link to their address is wrong? I believe you said that it was earlier. If not, then we're done here. No need to deal with stupid amoral fucks. In more civilized times, this would be refered to as "blackmail".

I also haven't made any character attacks. Maria's whole thing relies on people thinking she's trustworthy. What do you think the obnoxious pros and cons thing is for? If I point out reasons why it would be a bad thing to trust her and bad things that she has done while in power, is it a character attack to say, no, we shouldn't support this? If Nixon came back from the grave and wanted to run for President yet again and could do it legally for whatever reason, would it be a character attack to say why it would be a bad idea based upon his past behavior?

" don't bring the rest of the CPW users into it because they, unlike you, feel that this indiscresion automatically makes her unfit." Okay, forgot a word but it is a stupid criticism anyways so. First, I didn't bring CPW users into this, Maria did by asking for support votes. What, do you think I shouldn't try to get people to oppose if I myself oppose something?

Second, if I give reasons why Maria is slime that are correct (and they are) and people don't oppose her, they are supporting slime and are in effect slime themselves. Is this really that difficult to understand?

Also, I hope you realize soon that you're making fun of the way I'm typing while doing pretty much the same thing. Consistency and not being a hypocrite help your case.

FINALLY, "You've made your point" SO WHY OPPOSE? 1) An instance of a lapse in good judgement doesn't make one ineligable for the job.

2) Telling people who vote for this that the only reason they are is because of some communal circle jerk, "moving down from 'scummy and stupid' to 'almost unbelievably sad'", calling her a "scumbag" etc. are fucking character attacks.

3) I think the pros and cons thing is an application. Oh, hey. How about that. It says it right in the title "... Application".

4) There's nothing wrong with pointing out what she's done wrong. That's the democratic process. Insulting her and everyone who supports her in the process, though, is going too far.

5) Excuse my for my vague diction. "Unless you're at heart just a bunch of neckbeards who aren't afraid to kill anyone who makes them vaguely uncomfortable love to circlejerk to one of your own like a deranged midget circus, you should vote against the acquisition of even more power." Really? Really? You didn't bring Users into this? You didn't bring specific users into this, yes. Rather, you just went ahead and called out the entire community.

6) You gave A  reason why Maria is, in your opinion, "slime". Thinking your one reason automatically makes her unfit for the bureaucrat position is foolish. Question 1: Have you seen her do anything of the sort since? 'Cause I haven't. Question 2: Everybody does stupid things. Abraham Lincoln threw people who denounced him in jail. That doesn't make him a bad president. Check your logic.

7) "Making fun of" makes me seem like a schoolyard bully. "Being a smartass" is far better, in my opinion.
