However, I acknowledge that he's playing the devil's advocate here and pointing out hohum's hypocrisy (hohum tacitly implies that it is clear-cut as xRx=scum, flinter=town), and his other points against hohum are good; in particular, I like post 274.
Saying your vote is final means you're not interested in pressuring anyone else in the game. Add to that the fact that flinter replacing out
hohum is scum.
