Sorry ScottC, because you so gratuitously and for no apparent reason disparage Arturo, I can no longer consider you as an acceptable candidate for my vote.
There was no need to say what you did, but you just had to give us your opinion and let us know you believe that those of us who appreciate the wit and wisdom of Arturo are two years behind [your] times.
In spite of the fact that I have been entertained by many of your many, many posts, I no longer believe you have the judgment I want on the members of the Talkboard (about which I question the necessity)

If me being bored with the Arturo multiple handle joke is enough for you to not vote for me then so be it. Many thanks for considering me in the first place and I hope you put your vote to good use on one of the other candidates.

What is wrong with gratuitous disparaging of arturo? 
I do it all the time!
When you know that arturo is really *******, then yeah, it is a joke and it is old and tired.

I have selective reading which is very much like selective hearing. If I read a thread and someone posts on it that I don't like or I find boring I just skip over their post.
I don't find it necessary to comment on how I feel about them because that would just make them think that I care.
I don't dislike anyone on this board. I appreciate that everyone is different and some people I will never agree with but I don't have ill feelings toward them.
Besides I like people who try to get me upset. It's kind of fun.
