Ok look, from the beginning I have said that this is a group that throws biasness out the window.

I will vote for a Philly or Washington argument any day if I think that the argument is good.

I know that a couple of you have voted on lame arguments because of the topic, and I'm not going to call out names because you know who it is.

If you want to do that crap get out of the group and hang out with the spartans of sports or something.

There is also bias against certain users. I know I have bias against a few and I just can't bring myself to vote for them.

I encourage votes for the better argument. No matter if I dislike the person or not, if they are the one I find gives the best argument then they will get the vote.

Let's keep the group up to the standards we have strived to set.

It's hard, but I do my best. But occasionally I just can't. Usually, I just don't vote then.

I never vote based on my bias (unless an argument or person is INCREDIBLY bad or stupid). I HATE people who argue a point or vote based on bias...it is quite annoying...

That's an interesting point. Is there something against not voting at all? Basically, if I think both arguments suck, I don't vote. If the topic is too easy, I don't vote. If I don't like the way a person is arguing, right or wrong, I don't vote. In fact, I would probably say my default stance is not to vote unless one side has given me a compelling reason to do so.

Assuming I am following the guidelines of this group and the others I am in regarding voting on the argument and not the topic, is choosing not to vote a particular problem?
