"Stand up for" you? Everybody has been saying that the votes are not personal.
...Just for the record, a single battle does not necessarily define battling skill. The people whom have been voted for have been battling on this forum since this thread was created, some having battled here for even longer. These battlers are more well-known because of that, and since the voters know more about their skill, these people are more likely to receive votes.
Let me put it this way: say that you were going to place a money bet on a horse race. Would you rather place it on the jockey who has been racing for years and has several victories under his belt, or the jockey who only started racing less than a year ago?
