Not much of a fan of polls in general. Never have liked being limited to one word answers to a question often phrased in such a way as to bias to a desired answer. Not (yet) accusing you of such chicanery but the day is young. Plus, I've never participated in online polls because I in many cases they are traps to collect my personal data to share with every spammer on the planet. Again, not accusing you of such underhanded conniving tactics, but since it does make people a lot of money...Seriously CW, I'd much rather read thoughtful discourse on topics than to see how many people corralled into the closest fit answer to their feelings on a complex issue. By the way, trying to enter this as "Mudge" but experiencing Google difficulties so going back to "Anon" while trying to resolve.

ReplyDeleteGood thoughts, Anon/Mudge. Definitely not collecting data (though I cannot be sure of my masters at Google).
ReplyDeleteGOOD
ReplyDeleteI think a poll on possible use of polls by CW is in order. You had to see this one coming...
ReplyDeleteNew Poll:
ReplyDeleteShould CW quit using the term "Kitten" when describing his significant other?
__ Yes
__ Hell yeah!
__ Yes, please
__ No
__ No comment,I'm the Kitten
Poll removed.
