I agree with @
SupremeKnowledge on this one.
It's not about who's in the right or who's in the wrong, if you're at war with somebody for whatever reason they're clearly going to have a bias opinion of you. There's no true way to validate if it's a hate vote or not that's exactly why you just stay clear of each other.
I guarantee if Rican drop a vote on one of your battles you'd be bitching about it and don't even tell me you wouldn't.
