 * I like kittens. I guess I'd better vote for him. Auntmousie 04:21, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

 * From my count you have 95 in the main and talk alone as well as at least 7 in the GWW/GWWT sections so you should have enough contribs to vote Raph. -- Kakarot [[Image:User_Kakarot_Sig.gif|Talk]] 23:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, thats good, as i am natuarlly too lazy to check myself :P Thanks Kakarot :D--[[Image:User_Raph_Sig.png|19px]]Ra ph  Tal ky  13:38, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

He is a good enough person, I dont see why he cant be elected, with the support of all these people, I have to give him my vote.

For Ab.er.rant! --Burning Freebies 09:03, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Concerns
Ab.er.rant is a great sysop, a great editor, and an all-around great guy. That said, he's often seemed to suffer from communication problems, both making himself understood and understanding others. I'm concerned that this is going to be more of a problem in a bureaucrat role, so while there are certainly worse choices, he's not my first choice either. Just my personal opinion; take it as you will. - Tanetris 00:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That post is somewhat surreal in my eyes, since that pretty much describs the problem I see.. with Tanetris. Backsword 00:35, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Kinda have to agree with Backsword on that one. -- Salome [[Image:User_salome_sig.png|19px]] 09:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Honestly, in my opinion, Aberrant is one of the few on wiki that actually does just the opposite. :) - anja  [[Image:User Anja Astor sig icon.png|talk]] 09:22, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Question
Out of interest, does your reason for accepting this nomination remain the same as before? *Defiant Elements*  +talk  14:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I believe so. I don't particularly want to be a bureaucrat, but I won't decline the nomination (especially one from Dirigible and supported by Tanaric) because I'm willing to try to be one. By "want", to clarify, I mean I have no strong desire or wish or even hope to be one. Yet it also does not mean that I would do it reluctantly or half-heartedly. You can call it apathy (on the outcome) I suppose. I'll take it as it comes. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png| ]] 17:01, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Not a bad take on the situation. I wouldn't decline one myself, even though I wouldn't know exactly what to do with Bcrat. Hell, I still don't know what the hell they do.-  Vanguard [[Image:User-VanguardAvatar.PNG]] 13:27, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Of course, a vote for aberrant is a vote for all things good and logical with the world! -- Salome [[Image:User_salome_sig.png|19px]] 00:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * For the people! At least most people. Chaiyo Kaldor  talk contribs 00:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments here are too down-to-earth for me to oppose. - Auron 00:52, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * most definitely. --[[Image:User Wandering Traveler Oie User Wandering Traveler Sig2.png]] Wandering Traveler 00:52, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ooh, democracy!! Great, let's taste that. So why Abe.r.rant? Well, mainly because he is nearly the only one who seriously prevented me from foobaring the wiki with my absurd categorizations. Indeed, he is really annoying. So, if he is a bureaucrat, he will no longer be able to arbitrarily delete my pages. I will be free at last! Mwhahahaha. (hmm, hope I didn't misunderstood what a bureaucrat actually does) - M ORTUI Я  US  14:55, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Oppose
Only weakly. Reasons can be found in preceding elections. abby for sysop, not bcrat! - Y0_ ich_halt  15:01, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
