I thought about this last night and today, and decided I was wrong. While I still do not support the burnpost, my witness vote is based on all the things you do well. One disagreement doesn't justify not appreciating the good you bring.
It was kind of controlling and petty. I know my vote doesn't make the difference, but in holding myself accountable I wanted to apologize, I'm sorry.
I am not pround of that moment. :)
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 :)
