Buzz, I believe this is the HOS vote for the Neelys you're looking for:

 

http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6814020#Post6814020

 

If my math is correct, that would be 113 yes votes, and 2 no votes -- 98% for admission.

 

In theory, one could assume the Neelys were the ones who voted no, but since their accounts were swiftly banned (I think) for arguing with/threatening people in multiple Comic General threads, it's entirely possible they were not the no voters, though there's no way to be 100% sure in any case.

 

 

I wouldn't be shocked if someone on the boards voted no for them.

 

Hell, we could have put Manson up for an HOS vote and there would be at least 3 people that would vote "NO" and cite that he's a "family man".

 

 

I bet I know who one of the three would be

 

 

It does seem to shift with each situation though. Lots of different voices and perspectives around this joint.

 

Indeed. Looking back through the Probation discussions, I found this interesting comment made by someone when a PL case was being discussed regarding someone not following through with proposed time payments on a book.

 

Why don't you just sell the book and get on with your life?

 

Oh...because that would be too easy and make perfect sense in today's age.

 

And then added this to the discussion a little later:

 

The PL is weak and has no teeth. I suspect most sellers could care less and will sell to PL people if they pay. Business is business.

 

If the PL is week and meaningless, then by extension, the HOS should follow. This anonymous boardie would seem then like someone who probably thought this whole HOS vote was probably a waste of time, no?

 

As was said, there are different voices and perspectives -- sometimes, even from the same person, depending on the circumstances. As they say, to each their own.

 

In a perfect world people would respect a no vote as much a yes vote.

 

In the new world way of doing things, no votes must be shills or mistakes.

 

It's the new tyranny. If someone disagrees with you, they must be wrong as you are obviously right.

 

Everyone wants world peace and for the world to be a better place but without the tribalism and self gratifying ego done away with for good it's never going to happen.

 

Sanctimonious? No. Just wishing that the world was a different place.

 

11 people either disagreed with the majority or disagreed with the way the HOS is set up. Their votes was just as important as the majority vote.

 

For the record, in case anyone cares I did not vote no.

I believe you, but did you vote yes?

Now that the Chip HOS poll is over, can we start a new one on how much we enjoy unsolicited advice in how we should feel ?

 

Like my mom always used to say, "Unasked for advice is often unwanted."

I'd answer that but it's really irrelevant who voted what. All it does is give everyone something to talk

about.

 

As with anything in life, I did what I felt was best for the community.

So you abstained from voting but worded it so people would assume you voted yes since you "didn't vote no." A vote statement that you brought up in the first place. Well played Sir!

Abstaining is just so lame.

I'd have more respect for someone who voted NO, however misguided, at least it shows some kind of belief system.

Abstaining is just like cocking a snook at the HOS procedure, because you can't get your own way accepted by other members (and you know how the vote is gonna go).

Don't understand this level of petulance.

Actually, I voted yes but I believe it is irrelevant how anybody voted because all that really matters is the final decision. Or is this really about all the individual voters?

Abstaining is actually not lame. It's a choice.

 

Not respecting people's choices is lame.

 

Ready? Fire, Aim!

[CAHokie]

Then why did you bring it up??? No one asked how you voted. You volunteered it.

[DR.X]

Roy, let it go would you. You just said its irrelevant how anybody voted but you tell us how you voted. This thread needs to die. Your beating a dead horse here.

[Ryan.]

I'm cocking a snook in your direction.
