Thus: \"Names 4, 5, 6 disagree [with the result] and their counterargument has been addressed in . . .\"

Nobody\'s come up yet with \"o.o.O.\" so I will. Let the reader puzzle it out.

  -> thanks
agree Richard Hall
9 hrs
  -> Thanks. Though, of course, it would be different again if the participants were judges, say, on an appeals panel.
disagree Kim Metzger: With whom are you disagreeing? What does a.A. stand for?
18 hrs
  -> Touchy, touchy. Those of o.O. disagree. Another case where literal translation ignores the context and will have to deciphered by the reader.
neutral Steffen Walter: ...of other opinion, I suppose. I tend to dislike your elitist speaking in riddles, though.
