WTF?

From, alas, a now defunct DeadJournal, I learned that the U.S. Camarilla had three votes compared to the 1 vote each for the other nations involved in the voting to adopt the new 6.0 rules.

Someone in the know care to explain exactly why the U.S. got 3 votes instead of 1, like all the others?

Yeah, tell me about it. I mean, okay, he did violate the ToS, and did get hammered for it... but I really can't stand the gloating on the part of the other person involved.

It isn't necessarily gloating. I read it more as a "shit, he did it again"...

One. Marc Torley decided it.
Two. We have a shitload more people.

All the same... *shrug*

And for him, it's not so much gloating, he doesn't do that in public anymore.

Yes, but if 6.0 was so good that it passed 6-0 by the nations that voted, then the U.S. shouldn't have needed three votes anyway. Furthermore, just because we have more members does not mean we should get to force our views on people. If 6.0 had been a festering pile of dogshit that was heavily U.S.-centric, then the three votes to one would have been a bad thing. Luckily, 6.0 seems to be mostly good.

And the third sentence after "ERROR" sounds like gloating to me.

Trust me. I've read him gloating in his LJ before.

This is nowhere close. This is more of an amused statement of vindication.
