Suffice it to say I think your interpretation of 'what
counts and what doesn't' is rather... um...
interesting, considering that youre talking about
basically throwing out the majority of the total
votes.

Bureaucrats don't count the neutral votes as actual "votes" (i.e. adding to
the percentage), see [[Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Archive
26#Ending times]]. The section that contained the "remit to Arbcom" clearly
said in bold letters "No vote - remit to Arbcom". Many of those who listed
their name their, including myself, made that more clear by putting '''No
Vote''' ~~~~. That is how I got the "countable" votes, for the sake
of a
better word.
Also, your RfA was to be treated as a normal one, based on the quote from
[[User:Raul654]] (an arbitrator) on the bottom of the page in the "Comments"
section found in centered italics:
His RFA it to be treated like any other - less than
70% and he loses his
sysophood, between 70 and 80% is the bureacrat's call, and greater than 80%
is approval. →Raul654 01:22, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Under those qualifications, your RfA was closed early by Theresa knott as
failed,
and the case was sent back to the Arbitration Committee.
