As I said, Rick that is aviolation your vote privileges and blackmail.

From the rules (bold added by me)

Quote:
Voting Rules

All voting should be based on support of these Rules.

    * If a user is following the Contribution Rules and his/her data is accurate, and the contribution replaces data which is inaccurate or violates these Contribution Rules, a "No" vote is considered an abuse of the voting privilege and should be avoided when possible. 

You are submitting inaccurate data. My no vote is not only within the rules but is my responsibility if I choose to vote.

Still not sure how it could even be considered blackmail

I made NO change to the existing data, by MY choice, save for the title in italics. Is that HARD to comprehend. There was ONE word that is also italicized on the case, it is not at this distinguished in our overview by ', and I made a choice not to. that is MY choice. No change, no foul. And I repeat if Rick wishes to make the change, I will not block it, that would be against the Rules. But I won't accept it here for my use.

Actually, if you made ANY changes to the overview, you made a change to the existing data.  The overview, while made up of many words, is a single data field.  If you make one change, you should correct the entire thing.  It would have been quite simple for you to add the two single quotes, upload the profile, and then remove them from your local db.  As I recall, from another thread, this is something you support other people doing.  But, instead of doing that one simple little thing, you decided to create a mountain out of a mole hill.  I am not surprised as it is par for the course.

I will ask the question again, since it is obvious that you did not give it the thought it deserved the first time around.  Is this really the path you want to go down?  Is this one profile really worth the headaches that I guarantee are right around the corner?  What headaches you might ask?  Well, the stance around here has always been:

Do what ever you want locally but, if you want to contribute, you must follow the rules.  Not just the rules you want to follow, but ALL the rules.

You have just poked a big hole in that stance and, I promise you, there are people out there that will crawl through it.

Not to be disrespectful but this reminds me of something I saw at a circus once.  An elephant stepped into a ring where a dog act was taking place with a bunch of chihuahuas. The chihuahuas knew the elephant was in the wrong place and they all attacked the elephant. Very noisy but what a sight.

Have I counted correctly? skipnet50 has resubmitted this profile 3 times before processing by Invelos? 

What's the maning of "The production of this profile was supervised by the ASPCA"?

No... it has been submitted 4 times now.

Of course I could make some statement in the notes that "I'm changing this and that ... any other incorrect data are legacy errors in the original profile."  But if I KNOW something in a profile is incorrect or violates a rule - even if I didn't make the error - I shouldn't be making partial corrections.

That's what I wanted to hear. Sometimes you do not want to get involved into a specific discussion or interpretation of the rules and leave the doubtful part as is. Even if it is not doubtful to you, it may be to others. Imagine I want to correct a cast listing but do not like to be getting involved into any Courtney/Cox/Arquette vs. Courtney//Cox Arquette discussion or into the removal of undocumented uncredited cast.

Would you state the same for cast and crew? These are also single contribution units.

Yes, I would.  As you should see by now, I was creating a post that addressed this while you were making this one.

Rick:

And for anyone else.

Your initial No vote was perfectly acceptable and i clarified it. Had you chosen to vote YES and leave me the note I probably would have been much more amenable to the change. Your continued No vote as I ghave said is nothing short of an abuse of privilege to vote and an attempt to force a user to do what YOU want him to do. I will not do it now no matter what, you were dead wroing and in my view here you are only making a bad situation wose. Sorry, guy, i don';t cotton to being blaclkmailed. If you want the change then you make it and stop your abusive tactics.

I have to go now, see ya'll later.
