#::No, I would not oppose on that basis. I wouldn't have neutral'd, either, if support for the candidate wasn't already overwhelming at the time of my submission. And I'll also reveal now of my intention all along of switching to support at the end, regardless, because I ''do'' think the candidate is worthy.

El C's neutral

Moved from Special:PermaLink/1112288436#Neutral
  1. First neutral, ever. Oppose per FASTILY (bad nom) + support per Moneytrees (good nom) = neutral. Stop protesting! El_C 14:18, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Seems peculiar that you're neutral based on the nominators and not the candidate themselves... All power to you? That Coptic Guy 14:44, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Based. Wow, that sig is overpowering. El_C 14:47, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Oops. Noted... That Coptic Guy 16:16, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Is this reading right @El C, that you are not evaluating the candidate merely his nominators? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:47, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    @El C congrats on achieving the chaotic neutral vote 😅 I assume everyone else is either confused or playing along. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 14:56, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Per bludgeoning. ~ 🐿️ El_C (he/him • talk) 14:59, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the vote rationale (and the vote in general) is just here for the sake of humor. If so, then the joke certainly flew over my head and I guess it's a me-issue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just a tad silly. That Coptic Guy 15:03, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Interesting take, but wrong. El_C 15:11, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd love to be enlightened, then! That Coptic Guy 15:32, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm sure you would, but not everything should be spoon-fed with neat little sugar cubes. El_C 15:42, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    LOL... alright then. Whatever makes you feel better--no skin off my nose. That Coptic Guy 15:54, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Dude, must you? El_C 15:57, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    To be more direct: could you clarify your rationale, El C? On one hand, I'm not a fan of everyone jumping on opposes/neutrals; on the other, a venue that is inevitably very stressful for at least one person (and often more than one) generally isn't the best place for gleeful ambiguity. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:08, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Not at this time, no. El_C 16:22, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Neutral doesn't affect the outcome, of course, so the only point in registering one is to communicate what you think of the candidate without supporting/opposing. But here you're going out of your way to refuse to communicate anything at all. This is -- dare I say -- an uncool vote. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:13, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    No comment. El_C 17:16, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Agree with @Rhododendrites. Seems a bit too WP:POINTy to me, even if the actual point is not clear... *shrug* –FlyingAce✈hello 18:20, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    It's fairly uncommon that I reply to someone at RfA. The thing is, he did provide an explanation. It just happened to be a confusing bit of insinuation, with obscurantist game-playing as follow-up. Providing no explanation would have been an improvement IMO.

If the candidate was nominated just by FASTILY, would you vote agaist the candidate? Best, Tymon.r Do you have any questions? 19:46, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    No, I would not oppose on that basis. I wouldn't have neutral'd, either, if support for the candidate wasn't already overwhelming at the time of my submission. And I'll also reveal now of my intention all along of switching to support at the end, regardless, because I do think the candidate is worthy.
Unlike FASTILY, I take my opposes extremely seriously. I have opposed in an RfA probably less than 5 times in total, and I don't think more than once in the post-2010s. But as the nominator from last week to the nominator of this week, maybe I can get across, even if in a roundabout way, how participants like FASTILY make RfA such a toxic ecosystem. But now when they have an uncontroversial tech nominee, I'm supposed to play pretend? No thanks. I will WP:POINT out these gross disparities, even if it it brings much ire upon me.
