Voting, before the closing date…..? Odd. Please explainrffffffffd1111111111111111111
I have now removed the kitten from the key board….
Well, I haven’t voted, I prefer to wait until all the entries are submitted.
There is also the question, Nym, of why LW’s entry is missing from the Poll.
The answer is here:

I’ve voted on your poll, by the way, LW. 🙂
Well I for one am delighted that this post has appeared.
I consider it bad form that members are encouraged/enticed/asked to vote on ongoing competitions.
As a past winner of both the poetry and photographic competitions I don;t make this statement lightly, judging is an onerous responsibility, one that I have never taken lightly. To allow also rans, riff raff and others a vote should have no bearing whatsoever on the final decision.
Perhaps we need a Grand Adjudicator, you know, somebody (perhaps like me) to impartially judge all entries.
Just a thought 😉
Pseu:
I refer you here
and here
In a despicable attempt to influence the outcome of the December Creative Writing contest, Bearsy has included a poll in the sidebar that unreasonably and unfairly excludes my entry. I appeal to you and other Charioteers who value fairness for your support in correcting this gross injustice. Remember “A vote for me is a vote for Democracy”
Soutie: The check is in the mail.
LW – My bank has confirmed your contribution to the Ancient Queens Society – thanks! 😀
Bearsy: Thank you, by taking the sidebar poll down you have really made this post look stupid …..er …….Yes I see.
Oh!
Hmm, and so forth.
I made a point of not looking at the votes, I remain unbiased in any way,
I did however find the whole thing very funny thanks El Dubya and the Bear. 🙂
Ferret – Tee hee! 😆
“Perhaps we need a Grand Adjudicator, you know, somebody (perhaps like me) to impartially judge all entries.”
Soutie, we need a poll to decide that! 🙂
