The third option, as far as I am concerned, is simply to opt out and leave you all to your cosy arrangements. Which, as I said, is a distinct possibility the way things are going.

In other words, "THEY need to change but not ME."

There is a fourth option: realize you can't get Smith (because there are too many who love the character {not LMP but the story character}) and move on to a more realistically removable candidate. Then the game can go on with more interesting possibilities. Why not give it a try?

As for my vote today, I have no problems with evicting....

Precisely. After all, it is THEY that are wrong, not ME.

So why not abandon the "contest" and simply appoint Smith the winner without further ado?

Quite. Smith for winner!

Oh, I seem to have voted for Smith to go by accident. What a disaster. Everyone, vote for Smith and you might persuade me to change my vote. How does that sound?

Well, that would take some of the fun out of come over here to irritate the anti-Smiths.

Besides, I'm perfectly willing to vote differently than LMP...if the attacks on Smith cease.
