This poll is flawed:
- doesn't include the universe of possible answers
- doesn't even include a "none of the above"
- displays the poll taker's bias in the way the answers are worded.
So why would it be interesting to watch, exactly?
Or put another way, why is it a useful or appropriate poll to even be taking?
Were you just trying to stir up trouble with it? It could be perceived as
that, in my view.
I think I'm going to start a poll about whether member originated polls are
a good idea or not, or maybe whether members who post seriously flawed polls
ought to have their poll originating privileges revoked. Haven't decided but
I'm tempted.
