I’m trying to figure out why it wasn’t obvious I voted. The only explanation that makes sense to me is “I read the first few words and stopped and decided to reply anyways.” Pretty much every reply just repeated what I said but acts like I said the opposite. What’s the alternative reading?
I assumed there was a typo somewhere and just couldn’t discern what was actually meant. It really does sound like you were just hanging out at the lines to gawp. No harm in changing the first line to make it more clear.
I generally oppose edits beyond minor typos (and you should leave an edit log if it was made more than a few seconds after posting). They make threads so much more confusing to follow, even if by simply clarifying the original confusing comment.
I feel like an edit would just be much less hassle than arguing with folks over a misunderstanding that can easily be remedied. But hey, I’m not a cop.
So far, only one person has referenced the fact that I was in the voting lines at all and that was after I made the comment that your comment is a reply to. I’ve had no reason to believe anyone else had even read more than half of what I said in the parent comment: most of the rest have been people saying vague things like “Sorry I didn’t realize you had a learning disability.”
I think these comments are due to you saying you won’t vote. Is it possible you have a typo in your original post?
Of course I’m not going to vote. Voting twice would be a crime.
Yes, that phrasing sounds weird. One would just say “I voted”
Did you think I was just hanging out in the voting line for fun?
Look, I’m just pointing out why people are responding to you this way. If you want to be a snarky dick then ok. I’m out.

This whole back and forth has been describing exactly that.
