User blog:Opheuchus/Handling this situation

Ok, to start things off, I would like to say that this isn't a defense page. However, I do need to clear up some things and we can hopefully come up with a solution in a civil manner.

During the Bureaucrat debate, I used alts to bot the poll because I wasn't thinking rationally, and because I wasn't thinking about the detrimental effects that it would have on the wiki.

However, I realized, "Damn, this is a terrible decision." And just like that, I made sure that their votes didn't count, because I knew that using alts was the wrong thing to do.

'''Keep in mind that everyone who was legitimately on the wiki had voted before my alts, so they really didn't change anything. The final ballot was 13-9, and that was what it was before I used my alts. So please keep in mind that they didn't change anything.'''

If this appalls any of you, I apologize. However, I'm telling you that I admit to my "almost mistake" and I would like to keep this problem civil so we can come up with a solution very quickly and easily.
