The purpose of the OST is to win each round. That's it. Some voters think that "winning" means that the basher made a fool out of the opponent. Some think it means that they made their opponent look like his points were invalid. Some like a mix. It doesn't really matter what the voter likes, as it is his or her prerogative to vote as they see fit. If Bert wants his vote to be 5-0, it is his place to cast such a vote. I would hope that people would vote with how they really think the bashings were...but if people aren't going to do that there's nothing I can do about it. I can't tap into Bert's mind to see how he actually felt about the posts. Who's to say he didn't hate your post and just love Bater's? Honesty is what I ask for. If some members refuse to give that, it's just something that we're going to have to live with.
