I've never seen tilly so upset...

First : I upvoted bladx post.
Then to answer your question I did it beccause :

• I didn't perceive a SO negative tone.
• I perceived it as an attempt to contribute and enhance the site
• Some Ideas weren't so stupid (It would perhaps prevent a discussion requesting for 'null' votes every month)

That's being said, I was a little bit bothered by some mis-perceiption about Vroom's HARD work.
BUT, I took the positive aspects (I prefer this kind of post than the bladx's first post...) and thought they outweight the negative ones.

I didn't know for Vroom's laid off, and I'm really sorry for it.
I didn't talk to Vroom so I may have missed how much this post made him upset.

May be I'm to kind or too stupid (May be both) but I still can't be angry after bladx.
He was probably clumsy, but I feel that he didn't do it with a negative intent
(and his post on this thread tend to proove I'm right on this).
IMHO, a simple and calm explanation of the facts and a call to people (constructive) help/contribution would be better than a flame.

Final words : I'm not sure I was right to ++ him.
I'm sure that -- wasn't the right answer.
I still believe that bladx's intent was to contribute...
