I personally perceive this post as

It has long been noticed, and not only by me, that amateur psychoanalysis usually boils down to attributing one's own fears, complexes, and motivations to the object of analysis.

I myself sometimes fall into this trap.

Interestingly, in the past elections, the forum voted for ALL members of the Arbitration Committee who were in office at that time.

Let's conduct a thought experiment: shortly before Peterius recused himself, Dalavista suddenly appeared and said, "Guys, sorry, I went out for a smoke, I'm back." Then he gained his +40 votes in the usual way and left again. In my opinion, this is a clear bug and an abuse of the Arbitration Committee's regulations.

The point is that the benefit of the Arbitration Committee as a collective does not determine the benefit of the activities of individual members of the Arbitration Committee.

And since Vika, with his "beautiful" and "correct" slogans, was not chosen, it turns out that the forum was and is satisfied with the activities of the Arbitration Committee, but it's still offensive that he wasn't appreciated, and this experienced opposition figure doesn't calm down, and here's a new topic.

Oh, you're talking nonsense... Your self-esteem has skyrocketed, you need to be brought back down to earth a little...

Try to grasp a simple thought:

- there's Vika, who, not being a member of the Arbitration Committee, but rather being an opposition to the generally adequate composition of the Arbitration Committee, and also having a significant number of ill-wishers for various reasons, gains +22 votes.

- and there's zloy_romantik, who, being a member of the Arbitration Committee, and therefore having an initial advantage of ~20-30 votes "for the current composition," gains +33 votes, on par with newcomers and with a significant lag behind his colleagues.

In this situation, it is reasonable to assume that if zloy_romantik had not been a member of the Arbitration Committee, he would have been around zero, or even in the negative.

You need to be more modest...

As always, there's Vika's opinion and there's another, stupid opinion.

Maybe it's because I try not to argue with smart opinions, has that thought ever occurred to you?
