This sounds suspiciously like a poll, in and of itself.

I have strong, passionate, fervent and lustful feelings about ketchup.
Also, I voted. Both early and often.

Did you get one of those lapel pins? Maybe dipped your index finger in some purple ink?

That depends on what you did with the ketchup while you were there.

It’s people like you who are bringing this country to its knees, sinking in a morass of moral turpitude.
_ **Catsup** _ is the only proper condiment for all right-thinking Americans.

**Mewl** , you aren’t fooling anyone by pretending to have gone away. You’ve been checking this thread every morning. Or didn’t you realize that the board software lists your last activity on your profile page. You can either accept your mocking with good grace and stick around, or you can pout like a spoiled child. What’s it gonna be?
Odds are opening at 15-1 in favor of “spoiled child.”

How would _you_ know if I poll every stupid fucking thing I ever thought of? You have **no fucking clue** how many stupid fucking things I think about.
I doubt that I start polls on more than 10% of them.

It does? I checked and only saw that it shows the time of last activity. There is a link that says “show all statistics”, but it doesn’t seem to add anthing.

What else would she be checking on this board? She stomped off in a huff, and wants to see how we’re handling the lack of her presence. That way she can either get ego boost if someone defends her, or gets to feel vindicated when we all point at her and laugh.
