Re: [opennic-discuss] [VOTE] Require English in proposals and votes

I really appreciate it. As I said, if I count your previous non-English vote when the vote says it wouldn't be accepted, the two trolls would complain that they didn't have a chance to vote the way they wanted it. In fact one of these trolls refused to respond to my question on what to call their English-language protest vote, so I'm just going to categorize it under "Invalid, spoiled, spoilt, and write-in votes" section because people seem to have "issues" with one of these words but not another.

I also appreciate with your yea/nay proposal that you are attempting to do something about this. Even with your previous vote, you are protesting like an adult without trolling like a 16 year old kid.

Plus, while Sympa is annoying and it's possible I messed up, I believe you broke the tie in your favor. The votes are counted Wednesday UTC, so that may change.
