 :::::People, before this gets too hot, please chill. Everyone has a right to hold their opinion/vote and both sides have their points, but a debate of this such is just too much. I'd also like to say how disrespectful I find it to both the candidates. Its not a competition. - [[File:Major.png|20px]] [[User:Nicmavr|<span style="color:DarkGoldenrod; font-weight:bold; font-family:Arial">Nìcmávr</span>]] <sup><span style="color:DarkGoldenrod">(</span>[[User Talk:Nicmavr|<span style="color:DarkGoldenrod; font-weight:bold">Tálk</span>]]<span style="color:DarkGoldenrod">)</span></sup> 16:20, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
-:Just thought I'd put my word in for consideration... I love how HotM always turns into some freaky over-dramatic soap opera, usually whenever a normal, hard-working user states an opinion that the admins don't like or agree with. I must also remind the admins that Halopedia may not be a democracy, but it isn't a dictatorship either. I also love how I am simply making observations, and that I'll probably get in trouble for this when someone like Ghost sangheili would be perfectly fine (either that or I'm just paranoid). Halopedia is an American site, a certain admin claims (whether in jest or not is not relevant). That being said, everyone must remember that in America there are things called "freedom of speech" and "freedom of opinion". Campaigns may be disallowed in HotM voting, but if opinions themselves are disallowed, we might as well make it a private "admin-only" event. Halo-343 was simply stating his opinion, and I don't care what Tony has against him; that's not my business. When someone in power restricts the rights of someone under them for a good reason, that's fine. When the person in power does so influenced by a grudge or any other external factor not relating to the vote, that is not fine. I'm not saying there is, but this is a good reminder to some people that the line between right and wrong are very blurry when dealing with topics such as voting. HotM is technically a democracy, though it is a vote to see who deserves an award, rather than a leadership position. If this comment gets deleted, and/or I get banned, or this is censored in any way the people up at Central Wikia will know something is rotten in the core of this wiki's leadership. Not only that, it will also prove that even on the internet, democracy fails when applied practically, and that leaders must resort to force in order to control their subjects. Admins are supposed to be users with extra buttons, not terrifying all-powerful overlords. They say religion is the number one cause of warfare, and that may be, but politics are not far behind. And this, good sirs and ma'ams, from the first vote cast to the last, is politics. I hope you all have a great day.
+:Even though this debate is technically over, I just thought I'd put my word in for consideration, late though it may seem.
