[QUOTE="Badjak, post: 6001971, member: 58103"] As a 4e advocate, I am not sure what this poll is suppose to show. What is the use of polling what I was thinking someone else was thinking when they were saying something. My personal theory is that all this poll will show is that we tend to think the worse of people with whom we have major disagreements with. Likewise, the options for this poll can be easily redirected on the people participating in the poll as well. "the user is attempting to gratuitously provoke/goad." If someone I disagreed with tried to tell me "what I is really thinking" when I said something, I would take that as a goad. "the user is gratuitously "preaching to the choir/converted". "the user is high-fiving/chest-bumping with other detractors or some other form of catharsis." Creating a poll that only 4e advocates can post in seems to be a great example of the above statements. In conclusion, I love my 4e, but I don't understand how this poll will show any relevant information. [/QUOTE]
