No worries at all. It is actually something that more people should be doing more often. Witnesses should be held accountable to their decisions. I’m glad that you are taking a wider view than just the one particular issue, but I definitely understand where you are coming from, and wouldn’t have “held it against you” if it was a deal breaker for your vote.
Anytime something like this comes up, I think long and hard on why I am making the decision I am. Sometimes I realize that what I’m doing is wrong and reverse my position on the issue. Other times the best I can do is explain why I’m doing, and hope the other person understands.
I’m glad I was able to keep your vote. It is one of the ones I consider very important :)
