Some poll controversy

[enwiabe]

Just a note on this thread: Point taken about the disapproval, but I'd prefer it if Prav only saw the criticism of the main thread. Also, this was a nasty spat that went way off topic, so yeah, give it 5 minutes before this is deleted. Further Note: No posts in the other thread will be touched.

I disagree with the deletion of this thread. I would like to see this argument remain here, and you have continued to ignore my advice about blowback. Stop pretending Prav is your child and stop trying to shield him from the truth.

This is not an attack on him - this thread is more of an attack on your arrogance (in the assumptions you make about people's motives). Deleting it under the guise of protecting Prav from criticism is a cop-out.

Toothpick said it herself that the point of this thread was to prove me wrong about the approval rating of the logo. This has been done, and I see no reason for it to be left up.

We don't delete threads on this forum because the topic poster's intentions are finished. We leave them up for everyone to see.

I've already told you that that's not the reason. I'm saying that no further discussion should be entered into on the matter. Further, as I've said, it was a nasty off-topic spat, and I don't see a reason for it to be left up. If I only wanted to save my own self, I'd just delete the argument posts, but I would like to delete this post simply because it is unnecessary.

[Collin Li]

I have already told you that it is not unnecessary. It proves a point and it will not make someone else wonder "maybe there is a quiet yes vote!"

Don't delete the thread. Threads progress and diverge, like this one, and this argument has a wealth of knowledge.

What do you mean?

[Collin Li]

How do you think I feel that my perfectly legitimate defence of private polling is going to be deleted? I think this argument has merits, and should not be deleted.

[enwiabe]

AND I see no reason for it to be left up.

Hence, coming back to the point that it's

1) off topic
2) a spat
3) unnecessary

[Collin Li]

1) off-topic
This thread has progressed and diverged like any other thread. This is typical thread evolution, and the arguments on it have some merit, and are worth keeping. At worst, just close the thread.

2) a spat
Not sure what you mean.

3) unnecessary
It proves a point and it will not make someone else wonder "maybe there is a quiet yes vote!"

WTF happened here?
