"Vote Support on my bureaucratic request. Vote Option A on the User Rights Review of Ponyo Fan." see

Also in that same blog you make a point about how Kelpy G tells Gavin to vote Support

Does that mean you're a hypocrite? I am not "forcing" anyone to do anything. That quote is from my Think Twice blog, which is the written equivalent of a campaign ad. It's a suggestion, not an order.

I am by far the biggest proponent of community consensus on this wiki - the idea that I'm somehow forcing users into voting a certain way is flat-out nonsensical. As bureaucrat of the wiki, I have the ability to edit people's comments/block users. Have I used those powers to alter the votes of those that disagree with me? No. Have I used those powers to block users that don't vote the way I'd like them to? No.

There is a difference between making what is basically a campaign ad and then bribing people to vote a certain way by promising them certain powers. Now, Kelpy has since clarified that was a joke request, so I rescind my criticism of him for that. And I sincerely hope that Kelpy's "I completely agree" remark was also joke, for if otherwise that's just further proof he is unfit for the role of bureaucrat.
