You are full of shit. You have never made these claims against proposals by 
me or anyone else for the years I've been here and proposed different things 
here whether they passed or failed, nor have you made a proposal to claim 
anyone counting a vote is a conflict of interest before. You are a troll, 
plain and simple, and I am tired of you inventing bullshit that isn't found 
in any OpenNIC policy to try to ban me from exercising my rights as an 
OpenNIC member, and insisting to every tiny word that your opinion is the 
only right way. Who the hell are you? You are just as much an OpenNIC member 
as me.

The English language proposal ends 8/22 0040 UTC. You have less than a day 
left to come up with an adjective to describe your vote. If you were involved 
in any sort of legitimate protest, you would have done so days ago, like 
Sebastian did. If you do not pick an adjective within the next several hours 
I will pick one for you, since I expect you to complain about it, recount, 
and personally attack me regardless.

If this immature, juvenile bullshit over what to call write-ins, how to spell 
them, and how to count them is characteristic of European politics, 
elections, and civil rights, then I'm glad it's not part of my country, and 
if there's ever a vote to establish OpenNIC as a nonprofit, I will fight like 
hell to keep it out of Europe.
