Elgin Poll Reality Check

[Elio Amazed]

I know. I saw it. But that's not the point.

Start another just like this, but with the options you want. That way, instead of all the arguing over how this poll disenfranchises the silent masses, you can have exactly the poll you think is appropriate to prove your theories.

Really, with as easy as it is to create a poll, they only reason *not* to do it is because you think the results won't show what you want. Or you don't really care about the results, you just want trash someone else's thread.

You apparently consider yourself to be an expert on other people's motives.
Do you really miss the boat that much or is it just something I'm imagining?

The truth of the matter is that the members have likely grown weary of multiple poll threads on the same basic subject.
Be all those polls fair and impartial, and/or whether they have the capacity to "prove" what they were created to "prove", or not.
I think my and Craig's polls already show what they were created to show, which is whether the voters want the Elgin or not.
I'm not a big of a fan of being suckered into utter and complete redundancy, thanks anyway.
This seems to be yet another case of someone saying, "Prove it!" and "Put your money where your mouth is!".
Your proposition that I won't recreate my poll because I'm afraid of different results is entertaining.
Great macho stuff... which I grew out of a long time ago.

Bottom line, Rob, is that two previous polls clearly and fairly show voter preferences and they just happen to support my "theories."

So, yeah, that rather is the point.

And... ask around...
I'm sure you'll find support for your implication that I may be someone who will "trash someone else's thread" for no other reason than I like to.
Concerning that paticular note, were you talking about me or yourself? I just get so confused sometimes.

When the conversations lower themselves strictly as personal confrontations and no longer serves any constructive purpose,
take your peeing contest to inbox (one on one) and have at it.

I own and ride Harleys have for 46 years. If they do something stupid I call them out. They have a whole lot of really good engineers working for them.
The Dash is still dumb

What changed after you "called them out", when you think they did something stupid?

Don't go to the dark side.

Lord Elgin finds your lack of faith disturbing.

Hey, i waited until my third post. What more could you ask?

Hey, maybe the polls on this forum allow comments for a reason. Welcome to teh interwebz, dood. If you allow comments, people will comment. If you don't, they'll start a thread just to comment.

You're here, commenting. You're here, making extraneous commentary that has nothing to do with the subject of the poll, so why? Do you think it's more relevant to spent hundreds of words lambasting someone for voicing an opinion? Hell, I'm tired of myself already.

Hey, I know. Let's all get off the internet and start a journal, or diary. Then we can put all of our derp and fail and troll into words, on paper. Save it for the grandkids, so they can revel in our wisdom someday.

Then we can come back and talk like adults.

Yeah, but where's the poll on who's secretly posting as an infiltrator for Big Oil and Big Auto, and the poll on who's just a parrot for Fox News or MSNBC or Obama or the Illuminati?!

That's what all the discussions end up turning to eventually...

thanks for your effort-
The only factual conclusion that can be gleaned, is just how few people voted-
March 2014- 236
4/6/15- 93
4/25 45
The fact is clear that the voters keep diminishing in numbers. Everything after that is apples/oranges.-

My Opa would say, "apples to apples that have been through a horse".

I can't vote in this poll. Just like most political elections there is no option listed in this poll I would want to vote for. I hate the dash but I do not like to reward stupidity so I will not pay Elio extra to fix it. I will just find an after market option.
