@design_RG You've taught me never to send you a DM. It won't happen again.
I looked up the term "ascerbic."
I don't see how this adjective applies to my words. Maybe if I change some of the words, it will mitigate the stigma.
DIFFERENT WORDS
I decided not to express any opinion in the QOTO moderator selection process because it is a procedural charade.
The fact that my point-of-view is missing will have no effect on the short-term outcome, of course.
But it does make sense to acknowledge a problem which has potential long-term consequences.
Without more, a sham process is meaningless except for the unanticipated consequences going forward.
DIFFERENT FORMAT
A. FACT. My support or lack of it will have no effect on the short-term process of selecting you as a QOTO moderator.
B. QUESTION. Does it make sense to acknowledges a problem that has long-term consequences?
ANSWER: Yes
C. PROBLEM. Without more, a procedural charade is a meaningless in the short-term and potentially meaningful consequences long-term are not unlikely.

Why would you say your objections in the election would have no effect. You have never participated in any past elections so what are you basing this on?
@freemo @design_RG QED
Le't review slowly:
A. According to @design_RG, my use of the word "election" was wrong. -- see https://qoto.org/@chikara/103324461563997844
B. According to @design_RG, a wrong word the noun "election" was both incorrect and correct. The beginning of his sentence explains "it is not an election." And the end of the sentence is about "both the November and December elections."
• It is not an election as in open to membership vote -- that is clear from the administrator original posting for both the November and December elections-- see https://qoto.org/@design_RG/103324614652662035
C. Responding to @design_RG -- and working with him to try to move towards cooperation and common ground, I edited my post with different words and a different format. I wrote

• My support or lack of it will have no effect on the short-term process of selecting you as a QOTO moderator. -- see https://qoto.org/@chikara/103326686555029321
D. There is nothing in the brief exchange between @design_RG and me which explicitly informs your noun choices when you write "your objections in the election." -- see https://qoto.org/@freemo/103328290066465968
You ask, "Why would I say something would have no effect?"
ANSWER: A + B + C + D = QED
You ask, "What are you basing this on?"
ANSWER: A + B + C + D = QED
@freemo @design_RG The genesis of your thinking about @design_RG and me is unimportant, but it does matter that you posted an observation -- an opinion -- which anyone and everyone in the fediverse may read. You wrote, "you guys seemed not to get along."
No. Those words are not valid and they are unhelpful.
I get along fine with @design_RG.
@chikara
Sounds like @design_RG using some phrasing that was confusing and contradictory, you guys seemed to not get along (im not sure why or how to blame for that) and because i wasnt aware of your conversation,a nd thus didnt change my choice in nouns when refering to the election, you thus concluded that should you raise an objection it wouldnt be listened to.
Yet at no time did you just try raising your objection (to me or another moderator) and seeing what response it would get. Seems that would have been the easier root.
