You can disagree with my decision all you like, but telling me I stole something assumes a right to my vote. That's seriously offensive.

ncs posted about how you voted (she used the word "voting," which is accurate), and I called it a choice. You're the one who keeps reframing it here -- an obligation, or stealing. If you have a beef with someone calling your vote those things, don't call your vote those things.
