If you want to understand why I produced figures for the poll both with and without other, look at the comments of Bendris Noulg:In public opinion polling, something with which I have professional experience, it is common to produce multiple tallies including and excluding difficult to quantify selections like "undecided" and "other." And if you think I'm unfairly inflating option #2 by doing this, look at the comments of Psion.As to your question, Numion,I imagine there would be a 100% yes response were you to post it as a poll. It should hardly surprise you given that you have actually spent more time in the other thread attacking my decision to do precisely that than you have attacking my position regarding the rules.In response to your statement, Well, given that this poll is in response to a dispute with one of my players for the purpose of ascertaining whether my behaviour was reasonable based on the norms of the gaming community, public opinion is exactly what I'm trying to guage here. I'm someone who is easily shaken by personal confrontation (hence my preference of gaming over a number of other forms of social interaction) so when I'm involved in one, I assume that someone is being unreasonable. I just want to make sure that that someone isn't me, which tends to be my usual assumption when I'm confronted. Given that the purpose of this thread and the original thread which discussed this concept was not to determine if I am objectively "right" but rather to determine if my way of interpreting the rules is out of sync with the larger gaming community, the opinions of others is what it's all about. Regardless, I feel like I'm on much firmer ground, whether your statistical methodology says that 56% agree with me or 71%.I'm sure that you're correct that this concern is a character flaw on my part but I'm doing my best to correct it.</blockquote>
