Moderating: If this a poll? > [@SuntanLotion](#): > > I was exempt from jury duty. _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/2767))_ This is the polls - only, no discussion thread. If you can’t stick to the theme of the thread, please don’t participate in it. There are lots of other threads to discuss stuff, including the one that @squeegee linked, where there’s chatter about the polls here. ---
