But... You cut off the last bit of my quote and ignored its advice.
If the poll was relevant then reopen the stinger one... Or let's have more like them. We could make it a game like survivor.
It was petty and sad to leave 'the poll' running on the main forum for so long, it is petty and sad to use it as justification or support for anything, and it's petty and sad to continue doing so.
Thanks for the acknowledgement. Much appreciated.
I deliberately cut that bit off your post because I specifically wanted to address the rest. I often cut out in quoting the bits I'm not specifically addressing.
Don't reckon I'm using the poll as justification for our decision. It does though make the job easier when you know that a clear majority of forum members agree with your decision.
We left the poll running for two reasons :
1. There were a lot of responses. 100 votes in the poll is a fair sized sample.
2. We were curious about the result as it was serendipitously posted just a day or two after our decision in February not to ban lennyhaze. We wanted to see if our decision at that time reflected community opinion. It didn't but we stuck with our decision anyway.
