Using a poll to shut down a debate before it can move in a direction
one doesn't like, is just plain cheesy. Is that what somebody here
just tried to do ? It's hard not to wonder, given the timing.

First, get a group of your friends together. Flame the hell out of
somebody who dares to argue with your position. Do it fast, before
he has a chance to find supporters. Then call a vote, before the
audience has a chance to calm down, and notice how little sense you
are making. Then declare the issue closed.

Tacky. Really Tacky. List politics at its worst.

You guys spend a few days piling the abuse on a lone visitor. Nobody 
objects. Then two of us write in to say, you know what, there's 
another side to this issue. Would you be open to talking about it, 
freely and with an open mind ? I guess the answer is no. Really 
disappointing. I would have hoped for better out of you, but I guess 
I was wrong.
