@QthePlatypus I don't know what you mean. You prompted me to prove my claim to you, and the only sure way of doing so is to find a post of yours that had been accepted long ago. I clicked a few, finding these two. Am I not allowed to close-vote on them even though they are clearly poor? If you hadn't been so stubborn in your insistence that I was wrong, I would not have had to prove it to you, and would not have found these two.
And um, there is no "difference of opinion". There is "fact of matter", which I am going to prove to you. What the SE system does is not a matter of opinion.
A conflict of interest is when a person is supposed to be acting according to one motivation but has a vested interest in the outcome due to some other factor. What you are saying here is you have picked these messages to delete because I had posted an answer on them.
@QthePlatypus Your statement doesn't make sense. Just now you asked about C12, which is a close-request. So why are you saying "delete"?? Concerning the other lousy question that can be deleted, it is to prove the facts to you since you demanded evidence.
I told you already, I have to click a few to find one that is poor and closed. I found C12 first, and it is poor, so by site standards it should be closed. You refuse to answer my question of whether I should be allowed to close-vote it. I found D15 next, which is what I linked you to as the means of proving my claim.
You're free to dispute the close-vote, providing your reasons. In the end, if other people agree with me to close it, I don't see the problem. If you care about these two posts partly because you don't want to lose the rep, then explicitly say so. And don't blame me for finding it fishy that this is the first time you're using chat in nearly 2 years, and your first message is to challenge a close-request by me. Are you following me around?
Of course I understand conflict of interest, but I don't agree that there is any here. You still have not answered my question "Am I not allowed to close-vote on them even though they are clearly poor?" and until you do so then this is really a pointless discussion.
No. Was just curious about the chat and wanted to look in. Given the discussion about the deletion process this was one of the places I looked.
Given that your judgement about the quality of the question my be influenced by your view of myself I think it would be unwise for you to vote on them and that it would show good judgement to refrain from voting.
@QthePlatypus So you think I shouldn't even vote to close? I'm surprised that you think that way, because that in my opinion is nowhere near a conflict of interest. For example, if you are an expert in a certain field, you would naturally feel you have the right (maybe even responsibility) to downvote bad answers to questions in that field, even if you post your own answers to the same question. I don't think you can fairly consider this is a conflict of interest.
And, let me emphasize, I only clicked on the minimal number of posts of yours to find one that can provide 100% undeniable evidence of my claim, and stopped thereafter.
@QthePlatypus And in case it's not clear, I'm not influenced by my view of you, since I evaluate a question for closure/deletion solely based on the asker's attitude and responses.
