Personal WTF-ery aside, several days ago I put in my vote for legomymalfoy in the LiveJournal Advisory Board Elections.

I knew at that point there was some... jokester named jameth running, who seemed to be making a mockery of the whole thing, and doing pretty well in the polls despite that attitude. However, at the time it didn't seem to be that big of a deal. Today, I saw a post at the sga_newsletter and found out that this super nice fella had somehow gotten a mod at ONTD, one of livejournal's biggest communities, to endorse him, which spiked his votes significantly.

bookshop posted something about that in more detail here. And here is an interesting post by icarusancalion.

Now, I'm as skeptical as the next person when it comes to whether or not I think this is going to be taken seriously by livejournal in the first place. But if it is? I do not want somebody like that representing me, and you, and everybody else in fandom. That is for damn sure. So this is partially me tossing in my endorsement for legomymalfoy, who at this point seems the best shot at beating that guy, and very fandom-friendly. And part of this is my joining in (what I'm sure will be) the chorus in saying that we cannot let someone like that represent us. I urge everybody out there to go vote, and to tell your flists to vote, etc. etc. So, chop, chop. I know there's a ton of you guys out there.

I voted for legomymalfoy (1), rm (2), & vichan (3).

Get out the vote ← info on the fandom candidates, etc.

I was made aware of that asshat and his attitude today, and I went to vote too. I really hope he doesn't pass :/
