Personally, I haven't had time to vote or keep up with LJ Idol since I dropped due to real life...Spring break started today, which is the reason I'm reading posts about it now...
I heard about the issue last week because Brightflashes is on my friends list, I however didn't hear about the ins and outs. Frankly, I don't think I once voted for rm when I was playing because her writing always seemed too stiff for me.
I think that getting people to vote for people other than a person is no different than pimping yourself, or getting your friends to pimp you out to folks. When you do that, you're asking them to vote for you and not someone else...when you ask your friends to pimp you too because you don't want to lose, you're obviously asking them not to vote for others because if they voted for everyone they'd just be adding numbers and keeping the vote ratios the same.
