When you posted the call for the vote, you declared it "instant 
runoff".  When there was confusion after I submitted an IRV ballot with 
partial preferences because there were options that I would not support, 
I knew there would be trouble.

Further, in OpenNIC, we do our voting in public on the mailing list:  
*EVERYONE* has the right to count the votes, but the submitter of the 
proposal is expected to *post* a count of the votes, which is taken to 
be official if no one objects.  After you posted a count that was 
clearly *not* IRV, ***I*** posted a count of the votes following the IRV 
process, for which you are now accusing /Jonah/ of doing something 
wrong.  I understand that both of our names start with "J" and initials 
"JA" and "JB" are very similar, but we are two different people.
