Is it possible to construct a poll on this board which will 100% satisfy ALL nitpickers (by spending half a million years thinking of EVERY possible answer, loophole, and exception as you constantly and obsessively edit your poll, over and and over), no matter how nitpicky they try to get? Where instead there will inevitably be SOME answer which could work that you didn’t anticipate, or some alternate interpretation of your question that will inevitably misconstrue it?
  • Yes
  • No
  • Hey, you left out options X, Y, & Z, you dribbling imbecile!

Moderating:

From the terms of service
No slurs or cheap shots. Do not post slurs or other cheap shots based on race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, gender orientation, or other group identity except for political affiliation or leaning.

That poll is a highly offensive cheap shot against the handicapped. It’s totally inappropriate for this thread. Just a mod note, but pushing it.
