Do I do it often? I only just realized with the stolen artwork stuff that you're her! You were so low key for a while I thought Kate had flounced off permanently. :D

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. :)

yeah, righto.

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.

With Moka on that this was totally a trolling operation.

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.

he might not have known that this thread existed but FFS the whole 'i have a real life and am spontaneous and you are sexist aspie rubes' bullshit is old and tired and unpleasant - good intentions ab initio don't excuse being a dick.

ugh sorry but one dude who wants to run a ballot poll claiming he is less of an aspie rube than other people who want to run ballot polls (and have successfully socialised with others to work out an order) = haha fuck off

I took this as "schedule? what? anyway..." but I just tend to give the benefit of the doubt to people.

I guess that read as upset? It isn't meant to sound comeback-y or anything, just in case anyone thought so.
― Wacky Way Lounge (Evan), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 13:34 (1 year ago) Permalink
also, is there a Guide to Running These Polls somewhere? like the best way to tabulate votes, etc?
― Mordy, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 13:34 (1 year ago) Permalink
Does Joni Mitchell have a big enough songbook to do a successful poll? I'm not arguing, just asking.
― Josef K-Doe (WmC), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 13:39 (1 year ago) Permalink
Yay, Joni! I'd LOVE to see her work polled. And she has quite a few (7-8?) albums, doesn't she? I am sure we could pick 20 songs from that and not end up with the album 'Hits'..
Mordy: this might help!Alright, I made an excel file that should be useful, hopefully. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZQBPGXI6
Basically it's got a sheet where you dump in the songs and their ranks, and a formula that compares rank to point value which is listed on a separate sheet. Then there are suggestions and examples for making a pivot table to corral the data, or a suggestion for doing it manually.
I hope it's useful! /nerd
