"momentarily"
 
"Nominations close momentarily."
 
@cornbreadninja +1
 
@Mitch curtsies
 
@MattЭллен The cheese...
Yeah, presently and momentarily are silly words.
 
8:03 PM
momentarily you will explain yourself presently
 
I will rather eat Italian cheese, thank you.
making bolognese with parmesan
 
OIC leik that is it? Cheese over adverbs?
 
mmmm...adverbs.
 
@MetaEd Don't you dare!
 
g2g bye!
 
8:08 PM
CU
 
user19161
The votes are coming in fast and furious!!!
 
user19161
So very exciting!!!
 
@Marthaª I thought mathematicians preferred radians
 
@Gigili It seemed nobody cared for me to pull out, so I didn't.
 
@Cerberus oh, american cheese is loathsome.
 
user19161
8:10 PM
I gave everyone either plus or minus.
 
congrats
 
Em1
Hello :)
 
user19161
So far everyone has a minus...
 
@JasperLoy Umm?
Whoa, -22!
 
user19161
@Gigili I can see how many pluses and how many minuses for each person.
 
8:14 PM
weird that it doesn't show the real score. to avoid pylons I guess
 
Em1
Am I right that the primary does eliminate only one candidate? ... dispensable
 
Yes, the election will have 10 candidates
 
user19161
Remember the one with the most upvotes wins, not the one with the greatest total.
 
On my screen, Evan's vote count is inconsistent with the up/downvotes.
 
Yeah, I was wondering too. It was 0 and I -1'ed, then -22 appeared.
 
8:15 PM
@cornbreadninja Do you think it is the same "cheese" that McDonalds put on their hamburgers here?
 
user19161
Because the number of ups represent the number who will vote for them.

weird that it doesn't show the real score. to avoid pylons I guess
 
@JasperLoy You're not alone. And good for you.
 
Pylons?
Pile-ons?
 
yeah :D
 
8:17 PM
@Cerberus for your sake, I hope not, but probably.
 
Yeah.
It's not really cheese.
More like a yellow indeterminate substance.
 
papery fat flavoured with lactose
 
Ah, it's like the school grading systems in Texas. Any failing grade is automatically brought up to "just barely failed". dallasnews.com/news/education/headlines/…
 
@cornbreadninja I don't think it's fair to compare it to cheese. Like comparing McDonald's to food.
oh. point already made.
 
Heh.
 
8:19 PM
@Cerberus petroleum byproduct.
a use for everything but the squeal
 
@Mitch indeed.
 
user19161
Hmm, the votes are not exactly what I hope to see. Well, I guess it is too early to tell...
 
The squeal?
 
@JasperLoy What did you want?
 
@Robusto's answer is in the flag queue! What's the world coming to?
 
user19161
8:23 PM
@MetaEd Hmm, that's a secret. I gave you plus one as well. I did that for every deserving candidate even though I might not vote for them in the next phase.
 
What are good criteria for deserving candidate?
 
you like them?
 
@tchrist ???
 
@MetaEd that they have a lot of up votes and few down votes
 
user19161
@MetaEd Someone who has contributed in a non-trivial way to the site and has sufficient emotional maturity to handle flags.
 
8:26 PM
@MattЭллен Which answer? I don't see it.
 
@MattЭллен Votes cast by the person, or votes by others on that person's Q/A?
 
@JasperLoy You didn't vote for me on MSE, did you? Even though I was the most eligible. And I am too modest.
 
@Cerberus chittlins, pork rinds, ham hocks, pig maw, head cheese, ham, bacon, ribs, pork chops, andouille, sausage, tripe, 'variety' meats, lungs for fertilizer, pate, leberkaese.
Ears for dog chews.
 
@Robusto Oh, I guess my disagreement must have dispatched it from the queue. The one about say was auto-flagged because it got over 20 comments in under 3 days
 
user19161
@Gigili IIRC, I did not vote for you. Sorry...
 
8:28 PM
@MetaEd votes in the primaries! If you have a lot of up votes you are deserving.
 
@Mitch Eww. barfs at the thought of andouille
I only eat bacon, smoked ham, and sausages.
 
you mean -that- was the one that put you over?
 
@MattЭллен Oh ... well the question I was asking is what are good criteria for how to vote.
 
@MetaEd oh..real criteria?
 
@MetaEd I know :) I'm just kidding around
 
8:30 PM
numeric..go by useful flags.
 
user19161
@MetaEd Well, each person just votes according to the way he wants.
 
that's it.
 
user19161
@Mitch To me there are more important factors than sheer flag number.
 
how about how much you like them?
 
@JasperLoy Of course. I am trying to stimulate a bit of chat about what are peoples' voting criteria.
 
user19161
8:31 PM
@Mitch Not a factor at all now.
 
@Mitch Oh, that must be the least important thing to consider.
@Mitch That's it.
 
or how many people you can shoot with one bullet.
 
@Cerberus no pork chops, belly meat or spare ribs? You crayzee
 
user19161
In fact I have changed my choices for 1, 2,3 many times already. But some people are clearly off that list, like EC.
 
spare ribs? It's not like the poor pig has use for any of them now.
there's no 1,2,3. It's just votes of value 1 or -1.
 
8:32 PM
@MetaEd my criteria is basically a gut instinct that is probably affected by what I've seen of their behaviour on main and meta and here of course
 
user19161
@Mitch I am talking about the final votes.
 
and spiced up by their nomination words
 
@JasperLoy Yeah, the one interesting thing about Martha's candidacy is how it exposes the amount of opposition to EC.
@Mitch Right, but it will be 1, 2, 3 in the actual election.
 
@MattЭллен I believe belly meat is bacon. As to the other two, no thank you...
 
user19161
I hope kiamlaluno gets more votes. I think he will make a good mod.
 
8:34 PM
@Cerberus true, but also as a dish by itself. A lovely slab of roasted belly meat. mmmmmm
@Cerberus why don't you like pork chops?
 
By the way, if this election process seems a tiny bit complex to you ... check this out:
 
user19161
If we go by the number of upvotes now, it is clear who the 2 mods will be.
 
user19161
But we are only in the first hour, so things could change drastically, and literally overnight.
 
@JasperLoy Is it statistically significant? There are several more getting lots of good votes.
 
@MattЭллен winces
@MattЭллен I don't like pork in general, unless it's smoked or minced, I think.
Oh, I have to go.
 
8:38 PM
CU
 
By little piggies!
 
@Cerberus O O O
 
user19161
Ah, I feel like I am a commentator of a sporting event now...
 
@Robusto I know how attached you are to me.
Bye!
 
8:38 PM
doge_meat?
 
user19161
@Cerberus *bye
 
Now why ...
 
@MattЭллен No, but maybe Bologna?
 
user19161
@Cerberus No flirting in this chat.
 
8:39 PM
Huh. Interesting. Not entirely the numbers I was expecting. Having primaries is cooler than I thought.
 
Hello everyone. I have a message for this community.
 
user19161
@RegDwightАΑA Exactly. There are many mysteries in this world.
 
user19161
@Carlo_R. Hello.
 
Hello Jasper, my friend.
 
Hiya @Carlo_R.
 
8:40 PM
Hello Matt, I have just voted up you
 
Thanks!
 
@RegDwightАΑA All the primary is accomplishing is eliminating one troll with greater emphasis.
 
user19161
@Carlo_R. So what is your message???
 
@MetaEd that's what I'd have thunk, but it's already accomplished way more for me.
 
Dog meat refers to edible parts and the flesh derived from (predominantly domestic) dogs. Human consumption of dog meat has been recorded in many parts of the world, including ancient China, ancient Mexico, and ancient Rome. According to contemporary reports, dog meat is consumed in a variety of countries such as Switzerland, China, Korea. In contemporary times, some cultures view the consumption of dog meat to be a part of their traditional cuisine, while others consider consumption of dog to be inappropriate and offensive. In response to criticisms, proponents of dog meat have argu...
Really? https isn't good enough for us?
 
8:41 PM
Yuck!
 
user19161
@MetaEd Oh noes, that's cerberus.
 
@JasperLoy - I have a message for saving this community.
 
Tasty, tasty Cerberus!
 
@RegDwightАΑA what could it have possibly accomplished more than that (and entertainment for the past 1/2 hr)?
 
user19161
@Carlo_R. OK please continue.
 
8:42 PM
@MetaEd yes
 
@Carlo_R. I am not the messiah!
 
He's a very naughty boy!
 
Promises, promises.
 
@Mitch I wasn't even here for the past ½ hour. More like 2½ minutes.
 
@Carlo_R. I thought you liked her.
 
8:42 PM
@Carlo_R. Acts of terrorism? Really?
 
@RegDwightАΑA s|1/2 hour|2 1/2 minutes
 
I’m pretty sure that accusing someone of an act of terrorism is an indictable offence in some jurisdictions.
 
whoops!
 
If simchona was elected moderator, I leave ELU. She has often given great example of intolerance. I have seen this directly (I've been subjected to acts of terrorism and a lot of harassment from this one). His strange behavior and crazy, his obsession, is demonstrated by his flag 976. With this ELU will die. I'm making a last ditch attempt to understand these things from the co-founders, so they sent away this person totally insane mind.
 
Well, pack your bags, because judging from the comment chain of support, it looks like @simchona is a shoo-in.
 
8:44 PM
hip hip...
 
it's fair to say, Sim is probably the community's No.1 choice
 
@Mitch well fair enough. I guess I'm saying, then, I wasn't expecting entertainment to fill ½ a minute.
 
@RegDwightАΑA Oh, come on. I was sure you'd had sex before.
 
@Carlo_R. Accusing someone of committing violence is very serious.
 
Leaving on a Jet Plane
 
8:45 PM
@Robusto what's Adolphe to do with this?
 
@MetaEd Yes, I know.
 
@RegDwightАΑA exactly. I refreshed and saw the votes changed. I was enthralled by the changing numbers. like watching pachinko balls fall.
 
@Carlo_R. Making that accusation public is even more serious.
 
@RegDwightАΑA Sex with a dolphin? How was it?
 
@Robusto ask the dolphin, duh.
 
8:46 PM
@MetaEd Yes I know
 
user19161
@Carlo_R. Well, whatever you decide, I hope you live life well. Don't get too upset over what others do to you or think about you. Best wishes.
 
@Carlo_R. If you're so upset about those things, you should take it directly to co-founders you mention.
 
@RegDwightАΑA He said it was "tight" ...
 
@tchrist Shiny, shiny.
 
well, you know dolphins have a spare penis
 
8:47 PM
@Mitch Mitch I ignore all you say. All you say is nothing
 
@Robusto that matches my experience. I’ve never had the untight kind. My worse one was right on the money.
 
user19161
Can we let Carlo express himself and not troll him?
 
@Carlo_R. Really? Why?
 
The Long and Winding Road
 
@RegDwightАΑA Better than being wrong on the money.
 
8:47 PM
@Robusto better than being wrong and bankrupt.
 
@JasperLoy I agree with that.
 
@JasperLoy I don't see any trolling going on
 
user19161
Please, I think we really need to show some respect to Carlo as well.
 
Jinx.
Jasper, we got your message.
You've been repeating it for three hours.
 
Gotta go. Laters.
 
8:48 PM
CU
 
cU
 
@Gigili cu
 
user19161
@RegDwightАΑA I know. But if I were Carlo and I read all the criticisms about him on this site, I would be very upset.
 
@Carlo_R. you do realize that that number indicates helpful flags, right?
 
8:50 PM
@RegDwightАΑA yes
 
Anyone can flag a thousand times.
You can flag a thousand times.
 
Carlo, it would probably be best if you made accusations of violence before a judge.
 
976 "helpful" flag are abnormal
2
 
Precisely.
 
(chortles)
 
8:51 PM
I would say unusal, rather than abnormal. Simchona is clearly dedicated
 
@Carlo_R. But Reg's point is that 976 helpful flags are abnormally ... helpful.
 
user19161
@MetaEd I think in this case, that is just used as a metaphorical expression. :-)
 
@MetaEd No, only an obsessiveness person can flag 976 "helpful" flag
 
@JasperLoy I am inclined to believe the opposite: Carlo seems to be insistent that violence has been done.
 
May I kindly remind you, Carlo, how you verbally abused Kiamlaluno, and in a language other than English to boot?
 
8:53 PM
@JasperLoy Words tend to mean what they say. Unless they don't. But all we have to go on is what is said.
 
@MetaEd ask your parrot, you might respond
 
@Carlo_R. Is that intended to be a contemptuous statement? I ask in all seriousness.
 
@RegDwightАΑA Kiamalaluno is italian
 
@Carlo_R. that justifies abuse, how?
 
user19161
Well anyway @carlo I think this discussion won't get anywhere. If someone disturbs you a lot on this site it might be best to avoid him/her altogether.
 
8:54 PM
@RegDwightАΑA I assume it justifies the language.
 
@RegDwightАΑA No but he did provoke me
 
@Carlo_R. That has never been a good justification for anything.
 
@Carlo_R. he did nothing of that kind.
Kiamlaluno's alleged provocation was to cast a close vote.
 
How soon until the election's over and we get to have darling @simchona as our moderatrix? 8 days? Pity that it’s so long.
 
To be one of the five people to close one question.
@tchrist no sucking up to darlings in this chat.

8:55 PM
:)
 
@RegDwightАΑA I have tried to improve myself, but I found intolerance to some user: simch and his friend especially
 
His friend being?
 
Her. Simchona is female.
 
user19161
@MetaEd I would say that depends on the level of provocation. I am not talking about this particular case, just making a general statement. If someone picks up a knife, I have to pick up one too as well.
 
Simchona is female? What????????
 
8:57 PM
@waiwai933 Don't confuse him even further.
 
You didn't know?
 
Carlo? Kindly answer my question.
 
14 mins ago, by Carlo_R.
If simchona was elected moderator, I leave ELU. She has often given great example of intolerance. I have seen this directly (I've been subjected to acts of terrorism and a lot of harassment from this one). His strange behavior and crazy, his obsession, is demonstrated by his flag 976. With this ELU will die. I'm making a last ditch attempt to understand these things from the co-founders, so they sent away this person totally insane mind.
She? And you didn't know? OK.
 
@RegDwightАΑA that changes -everything-.
 
@Carlo_R. can we move on? This is not the Gender Discussion Room.
 
8:59 PM
@Mitch you've confused that with love
 
one assumption must be wrong then.
 
@RegDwightАΑA OK
 
State your case. We are here to listen.
