[QUOTE="Hor Kai Lan, post: 2632851, member: 31866"] well if i could play devil's advocate for second... does having a thread on what you'll be giving up if selected an Ennies judge sound like good campaign advice??? When you decided to become a candidate I would have guessed you understood the responsibility involved. I could see how this could come across to someone as a "woe is me" pity thread. You guys and gal :) signed up for it. It's hard for me and maybe others to say, "look at Candidate X... that person is giving up this and that... let me go vote for them... what a sacrifice they are making." Reading the other Ennies judging threads I understand and read how much time is required. But airing what you're giving up just doesn't sit well with this voter. I personally felt this kind of conversation should have been private. [/QUOTE]
