You clearly are given your focus on it in this thread. Likewise, it seems to be 3e fans that continue to insist that the two polls have some kind of self-evident meaning.Whatsmore, you can look at any number of smarmy, <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />-eating sigs around here and see 4e hate; usually in place of anything positive about the posters' preferred edition.People are "obviously anxious" to paint 4e as unpopular, despite the wider internet showing it to be extremely popular. This is telling: <a href="http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns" target="_blank">Campaigns | Obsidian Portal</a>Actually, there could be any reason why one person would do something. It's easier to explain the actions of a thousand people than it is to explain the actions of one.Simple annoyance I would have thought. It's frustrating to keep hearing people denigrate something you like.Somebody who doesn't understand the utter insignificance of said poll? Somebody aware of the meaninglessness of the poll but all too aware of how certain whiny haters will misinterpret the results and use them as justification for continued edition bashing?This has already been answered by other posters.That's the only conclusion you can draw is it? Are you even trying to be objective?I'm sure this is true for some, which is sad. It may even be the sole motivation for the possibly lone poster who messed with the poll. But it also probably isn't.I'd say 4e is both more popular here as well as being more unpopular, if that makes any sense.Oh please. 3e hate is minimal around here. For most of us 3e was previously our favourite edition.It is possible however, that people are so annoyed at the endless 4e bashing, that they have transferred this annoyance to 3e, which is also sad. Because 3e was a great game.So this "friend of yours", the one with too much ego invested in the popularity of the game... do you think he'll be ok?<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_(psychology" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_(psychology</a>)</blockquote>
