I've never said otherwise. What you are saying now is different than your last post. Letting people decide based on everything they know about a category, including any descriptions, is one thing while expecting to ignore any clearly stated descriptions not listed in the poll is quite another.

I have no problem with the voting using the description from the first nomination post (although it would be nice to have that included in the description in the first post of the voting). I do have a problem with the "hammering out" after the 1st nomination. Everything should be "hammered out" before the first official nomination post is made.

I do not have a problem with WT Sharpe changing typos (missing parenthesis).

IMO. YMMV.
