As I already said, maybe I don’t correctly understand the work electionneering, but what I meant was that I don’t want people linking to my site with the express message to “vote for Mr. X”. Of course, here on Lugnet as on other websites, I encourage the linking to my site and I respect the right of people to say that they are voting for a specific Minifig, but at least, say why and debate over it. Blindlessly voting for a theme is not the spirit of the MHoF.
