Are there too many polls?

Are there too many polls?

Are polls multiplying like rabbits on D&D?

I'm missing the "there weren't until now!" option.

Fixed.

Voted for that option!

Next topic, are there too little or too much topic to debate.

I wonder if there should be a poll for that. Or maybe a poll tax.

Who gave you the right to tax poll makers? No taxation without representation!

I did.
The older members will remember that I was elected Emperor of D&D some time before the previous ice age. Now be a good chap and shove that representation nonsense where the sun doesn't shine or there will be unexpected company just after midnight

My Goodness! I do have a vague recollection… (But of course we won't discuss the merits of actual poll taxes! This is, after all, Berates & Obstructions…)

You would soon have a revolt in your hands. Nobody likes a self appointed leader.

Who said he was self-appointed? (I don't remember taking part in the vote, but then I wouldn't have bothered with it.)

In any case, the poll tax is a bad idea. It's not a tax on excessive polling, but a tax on those who take part in voting. Poll taxes have a dark history here in the States as well, seems they were part of the old Jim Crow system. So, skip the poll tax.

It wasn't a formal election, no actual poll was taken. A few people gave Mac the title, and he used it as his title for some time (before the current Cthullu in a Christmas hat avatar and corresponding title). He was somewhat more active in this forum at the time, so you might argue that Jaybro or wikipedian would be the current holder ... (I know that mjmsprt40 would decline, so I'm not suggesting him.)

Apparently you have trouble reading the post above. Which words cause you the most trouble?

Hmmm. Perhaps we should take a poll?

+1 for "elected"

I'm going to appoint rjhowie as head of the imperial secret police

Jaybro is already God, you can't have it both ways

Who says you can't (well, you did, this is a rhetorical device). We may have an Emperor of D&D, a God of D&D, but there seems to be a vacancy for a God Emperor of D&D. Now that would be a triumvirate unlikely to get anything decided&done.

The God, the Emperor and the Great Coon in the Sky, D&D's (un)holy trinity

Jaybro is a reluctant God. It's all about potty training.
.....
And on a related matter, what's a poll, a citizen of Polland?
If so, then Jak się masz!
