'''Yes, how unfortunate. However, you could use that excuse in really any situation, from a botted poll to a mass murder.'''

Here’s the difference: Mass murder is a mistake that CANNOT be reversed. My mistake COULD be reversed, and so that’s what I did.

'''After some investigation, I have found that this is true. This doesn't make it acceptable, however. If one athlete wins a race by cheating, then he will be disqualified. It doesn't matter if he is clearly faster than the racer who didn't cheat. In addition, genuine users could've seen that PET was winning because of this bots, and could have thought "Well everyone else is voting for PET so I'll do that too."'''

In this case though, the racer almost cheated, but then decided not to. As a result of this, the race went on without any scandals. Not to mention that every genuine user already voted.

'''"Almost mistake"? I think this was a big mistake. This questions your integrity, which is important anywhere on the planet.'''

This was an almost-mistake because I almost did it. I didn't actually go through with it.

I hate how big of a hypocrite this makes PET, considering how many times he's criticized Pig Lover for doing the same.

PigLover was the one who ACTUALLY used alts to change the FINAL result of MANY polls. My alts did not because I MYSELF had stopped it. Unlike PL, I knew it was the wrong thing to do.
