Humour in polls.

[Twilkitri]

OK, beyonder seems to think that putting 'funny' responses into my polls makes them 'bad' and/or 'stupid'. So what do you people think?

Evidence
{
<beyonder> you still make bad polls.
<DarkTwilkitri> >.>
<DarkTwilkitri> <.<
<DarkTwilkitri> No.
<DarkTwilkitri> No, no I don't.
<beyonder> the forum begs to differ
<DarkTwilkitri> No, _you_ beg to differ
<beyonder> and i own the forum.
<beyonder> therefore the forum begs to differ
<beyonder> right forum?
* beyonder pets forum
<DarkTwilkitri> But you aren't the forum.
*** beyonder is now known as forum
<DarkTwilkitri> Vote Liberal.
<forum> i think u make bad polls, DT
}

{
<DarkTwilkitri> I present Exhibit A
<DarkTwilkitri> http://content.thegreatbeyond.net:8080/ ... .php?t=202
<beyonder> definantly better than any poll u make...ur polls only have one answer that doesnt make u look silly.
<DarkTwilkitri> Hmm?
<beyonder> basically the answer to the u2 poll is "yes" and the answer to the beyonder poll, is now "no"
* DarkTwilkitri counters beyonder's words with http://content.thegreatbeyond.net:8080/ ... .php?t=151
}

{
<beyonder> i want u to stop making silly polls
<beyonder> and i need to get a new copy of mirc b/c this one is *I tried to curse and failed horribly!*.
<DarkTwilkitri> I don't generally make 'silly' polls.

hmmmm a) polls slow down the database much more than normal posts and b) dt doesnt make funny polls. he makes bad polls. and too many of them.

I think some polls are okay, some are just dumb, and Beyonder is always wrong.

That's as may be, but this forum is tiny. It's not as if there are thousands of members and millions of posts and making polls is seriously going to decrement performance

and b) dt doesnt make funny polls. he makes bad polls. and too many of them.

I may have made a _few_ 'bad' polls, but most of them aren't.

I also bring to the stand evidence of others making polls in the same vein as me:

The following Gameworld poll is now closed. Here are the

Anyways, let's drop the subject of whether my polls are bad or not. I'm happy because I got my rank&fire back, beyonder's happy because... um... he just is, and everyone else will be happy if we stop arguing.

Yes, and you know what that means! Locky-locky!
