Edit: "are", not "were". My grammar gets a bit rusty when I'm annoyed.
Oh yes, I'm delightfully aware of the irony... or, rather, the perception of irony.

See, I didn't deliberately not vote yesterDay. Rather, I got my times wrong, had a cake at work, got home late, and was much, much too late....

But, since I can see into the depths of my soul, I know I would not have voted Kitanna. Voting for someone already on death row is like liking Days 1--I just don't do that.

So I can throw all the rocks I want, in this particular situation: my house ain't glass. (In this case it's a really ugly stucco, so while those who live in stuccoed houses shouldn't go on about shag-carpeted houses.... but that's a convoluted analogy.)

Furthermore, there's a gaping hole in your logic there, Shasta. You aver that had we actually killed someone yesterday instead of rubberstamping the mod's necessary actions, we would have three innocents death.

Rubbish!

Your reasoning assumes that the person killed yesterday would actually have been an innocent. Not necessarily so. Although not quite as statistically possible, one should not think that--on Day 1 of all days!--we would certainly not have hit a cobbler. (Although lupine Fenrii abound, I do not suggest we'd have caught one, since that would go against the grain of my Day 1 tendencies... though I guess it IS logically possible.)

Furthermore, the actions of both the wolves and the Cobbler-Hunter could have been much different last Night if there had been an actual attempt to kill someone. We could, in theory, have three cobblers dead right now, alongside Kitanna.
