After some deliberation, I've decided to withdraw this request. I am content with my submission. I am also content not to receive the prize or any portion thereof.

I want to express my approval. You practiced the difficult discipline of taking some time to deliberate on something that clearly engaged your emotions strongly, and the yet more difficult art of actually changing your mind.

No upvote, though; a more advanced rationalist wouldn't get an upvote because they would have remembered to deliberate before expressing their first opinion.

I'm not asking for a Rationalist of the Month Award, just a measly upvote.
