Friends cut. If I've removed you, it's nothing malicious. I have no negative feelings towards you. Just a deep-set sense of a need for distance. I think it's desired by, and for the best of, all parties involved, and I simply hope we can continue to be civil elsewhere.

If you were involved in the commotion and are still here, that's because I trust you, and I'm grateful for you as a friend. So thank you to those who have demonstrated nothing but reasonable attitudes. It's more appreciated than you'll ever know.

There's a site called dialidol.com, that essentially measures a lot of different AI voting systems. One of the things it provides are various graphs and charts. There's one chart that people use a lot around places like ONTD, but it never seems to be overly accurate - yet, with a tip from one other community or another, I found that if you go to the DIHardGraphs - the actual raw data - you can view how busy the individual lines are at certain intervals. Viewing across enough intervals and comparing different lines, you get a pretty damn good picture of what's happening. These have been spot on almost EVERY week this series.
