Yes, I thought that by making the results public you simply meant that you would make the totals public.
Might I suggest a compromise. You could PM the actual votes only to those who participate. This would provide the opportunity for any questioning your integrity by enabling the exchange of results lists through PM between members, while not unduly compromising privacy.
BTW, since a shorter suspension is not an option, I am sustaining from voting, so I would not receive one of these PM notifications. BTW, I personally would not have any objections to my vote being published on the forum, I abstain because I object to the lifetime ban, and would have to vote no, which I do not want to do.
I would prefer that Paul be banned until some milestone, such as Hammer or perhaps Barton being officially announced is reached. Actually, some other milestone, such as Intel actually shipping either a mobile P4 or Banias would be better, since AMD's potential failure to ship the target processor would result in a permanent ban, which would be unfair to Paul with his negativity with regards to AMD, which would in this case be justified.
Might I at least suggest that, in the event of a lifetime ban, the technique of routinely posting links to Paul's increasing rare on this thread significant contributions on the Intel thread be used by some reasonably responsible poster, such as Tench. |
