...I'll take that as a no.
CP asked "so who wants to vote Ratchet?"
Me, noting that he hadn't voted for me, said "so why don't you start?".
He replied by saying the wanted to keep his vote where it was, to which I followed up with pointing out that he did has some support (in reference to his original question), and that if he aims to go anywhere with this, he should probably do so soon. It's not a "please vote for me", it's a "you are seeking approval too much for this to go anywhere currently", so I wanted to see what he had to say. He mentioned Retro after this, so I suspect you're reading some of this in reverse.
