Poll question: "Robb is a Dingbat" (semi-serious)
I thought I had made it pretty clear that "Robb is a Dingbat" wasn't, as I saw it, a personal attack; but now I'm feeling insecure that not everyone agrees.

I've always thought it a nice self-effacing way to allow people to respond with a "why am I even responding?" option. But perhaps it should be "Robb's Idea is Dingbatty" to stick with the letter of the rules.

What do you think? Non-issue? Big deal? :shrug:

1. I love the self-effacing nature of it.
It's why I almost always select it. Not because I think you're a dingbat; it's because I think it's cool that you can laugh at yourself.

2. /agree
Your polls are always funny, if nothing else, for that.

As long as you are cool with it, who cares? :shrug:

3. I think it's cool
Beats the Magic Rat is a cheese-sniffer that I used to post in polls. :D

4. I'm confused.
If I'm not given the option of voting "Robb is a Dingbat", it turns my world upside-down.

5. Honest to God, Robb, I like it.
It's become one of my favorite non-sequiters and non-answers to dumb polls.
Right up there with "poop".
Yer FAMOUS!
Savor it.
:-)

...Yooooooouuuuuuu!! :)

Here's the corker, though. Look up there, seems like people actually think it's an attack unless it comes from me.

But consider this: if it's an option in a poll, by voting for it, you're becoming the vehicle for the message. In other words, click there, and it's coming from you, not me. Thus, a personal attack!

I'm so confused. But I've always wanted to use this emoticon for myself: :dunce:
