I'm not fighting, I'm just amused by the 'will you give us three minutes to react' post upthread.

o so apparently this is the thread where a handful of aspie rubes unilaterally decided what polls are (beatles - exciting!) and aren't (madonna - a girl!) allowed on ilx and ASSUMED that the rest of ilx (the ones w/ jobs, lives, etc) would know/care/heed what the handful decided. what a fucking wasteland. bye ilx!

Who's going to do the Madonna poll now?

30 minutes is not 3 minutes, BTW and it would be really great if you could for once just keep the "OMG Masonic Boom!" jeering out of yet another thread.

The Madonna poll is after the Prince one.
The idea of scheduling was so we're not all doing polls at the same time.
Also, that the person having put their name against an artist is sort of comitting themselves to the work involved.
I know you know this, so hey.

AspieAn aspie is one who has Asperger's Syndrome, which is believed to be part of the autism spectrum. Aspies, while being quite gifted verbally, have social, emotional, and sensory integration difficulties, among others. Aspie is an affectionate term, and is not meant as a put down.My son is an aspie, so he's not so great at making idle chit chat at parties, or even at being in crowds, but he can get us home from anywhere. He says he just consults the map in his brain.
That's the best balls has got? Practically a compliment!

I feel bad for balls. Seemed legitimately unaware of this thread as well as whether it was an actual authority over people being allowed to start a ballot poll. He didn't take Karen seriously off the bat and his thread gets locked pretty quick. Sucks if he truly was innocently trying to start the ballot for fun. Just giving the guy(?) a little sympathy is all. :)

He didn't seem legitimately unaware. Since the opening posts of the locked madonna poll thread it seemed pretty clear he didn't give a fuck and that he was only doing it to mock this sort of polls (?) Also he reposted the thread twice or thrice after it got locked but they got deleted by an admin.

what? this did not "seem pretty clear" to me at all. balls started an 80s ballot poll years ago (tho infamously never posted the results), he's not mocking them.
