I just did, Neo. Is ballot-stuffing allowed? If so I’ll vote early and often.

“Diva” has negative connotations for me… someone a bit dramatic and demanding and difficult to get along with. I don’t think of you that way.

But apparently “diva” is a positive label in this case, so I just voted for you before posting this comment.

Lot’s of talented, dedicated ladies in that list, aren’t there?

Thanks—yes, I’m not really the diva type. Hiding behind an apple won’t do for a diva.

Well, it’s gay men applying the “diva” title so I think we can assume that it’s a very positive label. It’s not at all the same as if another woman were calling you a diva.

I’ve been voting for you. You’re not doing too poorly, actually. The front runners are leaving everyone else in the dust and so far they’re each at about 20%.

She can kill with a simile
She can wound with her facts
She can ruin the fools with her logical axe
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides behind apples,
But she’s always a diva to me

She can lead trolls to despair
She can take ‘em or leave ‘em
She can ask ‘em to play nice
But she’ll never believe ‘em
And she won’t stand for blather, even if free
Yeah, she decapitates trolls
But she’s always a diva to me

CHORUS:
Oh–she writes like herself
She can post if she wants
She’s ahead of her time
Oh–and she never rants out
And she never rants in
About changing her mind

And she’ll promise you insights
more than you’re needin’
Then she’ll write of ballet
till your crainium’s seethin’
Then she’ll cite the Times
And the worst it can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she’s always a diva to me

She is frequently kind
And she’s suddenly cruel
She writes as she pleases
She’s nobody’s fool
And she can’t be convicted
She’s earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw insight at you
But she’s always a diva to me

Tied for 8th place. Not bad.

Just getting on the list is pretty good.
