Poll on The Opinion Polls About the Health Forum

Poll question: Poll on The Opinion Polls About the Health Forum

I am conducting an opinion poll about all the opinion polls on the state of the Health Forum at DU

[trotsky]

1. Well, this rash of polls was kicked off by a certain individual...

who chose to use the poll as a weapon to continue bashing. Argument by proxy, I suppose. But they were a good exercise - and I'm hoping the original individual actually learned something, based on the number of people who pointed out the hypocrisy.

[Why Syzygy]

2. Having come in

to the situation when there were just one or two polls, and with no prior history of any real involvement here, I was happy to see the adult (okay, it's a poll) way people are discussing their view points.

3. I no longer vote in such polls

They are only used to validate the opinion of the OP.

4. I'm with you there. I never responded to any of them.

The subtext of all those polls seems to be this:

Which of these describes you:
A. You agree with me.
B. You're a bleeping idiot and fool.

I'm starting to think that we should re-name this forum the "HEALTH (Hurling Epithets And Taunting Hubris) Forum."

5. But what's the L stand for?

6. That's what I get for trying to make up acronyms on the fly and get to a meeting

:rofl:

10. I like loud. And a couple other possibilities

lame
lazy (as in, it doesn't take much thought or effort to say "You're a jerk")
libelous
limp
little
lizardly
loathsome

Maybe I should start a poll ;-)

11. I think a poll would be a good idea. I don't see one from today yet.
