@ghost-of-a-duke saidAnd it shall not be done, by yours truly anyway. I have no further stupid questions or comments to make, and shall be silent forthwith on the matter.
It's just not the done thing old chap.
In the years I've been involved in theses competitions I don't believe a writer has ever voted for their own entry.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou wouldn't have a clue who voted for whom goad, don't talk so silly! Unless of course they told you like I did last year, which will not happen this year! 😉

@very-rusty saidBut you destroy the thread Rusty, can't you see that? Stay out of this one unless you have something essential to add.
You tell me h,ow he would know that no one voted for themselves, and I'll retract my statement. You know I don't mind a argument, no yes man here! 😉

@torunn saidDo you think by telling me to stay out of a thread that going to help anything or just letting everyone know where you stand? 😛 😉

@indonesia-phil saidHey the topic is, "freewheeling escapism" isn't it? 🤔 😉

@ghost-of-a-duke saidAs far as I can tell this is true.
It's just not the done thing old chap.
In the years I've been involved in theses competitions I don't believe a writer has ever voted for their own entry.
I do a spreadsheet to count the votes, and it would immidiately surface if someone voted for their own.
Plus in the past most writers identify with their work and you can chekc even now when looking though the old threads. (I gave them in the other thread, maybe I have to look that up.

@very-rusty saidVirtually all votes are done publically. Indeed only ONE vote was made privately by PM to Ponderable last year, and that was by you. And similarly, virtually all (if not everybody) who wrote an entry said afterward what they had written.
