Please don't label it a fight.

What do you mean, "phase 2 wasn't enough?"?

This is just a thread asking people to vote in those polls. This isn't a new poll.

Poll: "The Butterfly Ballot", Episode II

Sorry, but to me it is a fight under a mask.
Yourself and Delija had a disagreement about this issue last week, and you can't seem to let it rest.

IMO you are doing the equivalent of starting a Ratzo Rizzo retaliation thread. See the following where I highlighted in red the key comment that allows me to believe this.

I did say that I wasn't interested....can't you read? Please see the quote below for proof...

I know you can do it.....the question is are you willing to open your mind and look at an issue from two different perspectives. This is an easy one......really, quite straightforward.

Sorry, I don't play games here.

If you have a point, then make it.

Who cares if I bring up bd? Does it really upset you enough to make you launch into such an peculiar rant?

Those who were here at the time get it. PM's I get indicate that people care.

You said the ballot was confusing, so I posted a picture so people could make their own judgement. If you feel that the ballot did not appear the way it did when someone took a picture of it, then please post some supporting evidence. That is not a graphic of the ballot, it is a picture.
Would you like to see another one??

This one is from CNN...


Again, what is so confusing about that. It's a simple question. You do not need to answer it in a separate thread (like you did this time). I would prefer if you would answer it in the correct thread so that people understand what we are discussing, instead of polluting other threads. Thanks.

You should know by now that if you are going to make assertions you should cite sources to prove your claim. Oh wait, I forgot about the following quote...

I guess that explains why you do not post sources. But hey, that's your right. I can't force you to do anything.

It is enough.

People do it everyday. You are doing it right now. If you don't want to do it anymore, then stop replying to my posts.

I've been wrong tons of times. I recently mistyped a statement about the world's intelligence agencies in this thread...you should check it out.

Mo links between Saddam and terrorism starting to emerge....

Well, I'm glad that I could keep you coming back.

I don't believe the world revolves around me. Please show me where I have said this.

I don't think you are attacking me (this time). You haven't called me any names directly yet. When did I bait you?

Sorry for what? What are you talking about? I don't see myself as the forum police.

I don't need advice on how to take care of my son, but thanks anyways. I watch him 4 days a week while my wife works days and I work nights so we don't have to put him in daycare. I do most of my posting on my days off when he is asleep.

Thanks for the psychological analysis of me, but I am doing just fine, thank you. I don't sweat the small stuff. You are the one launching into these tirades because you don't like the way I post on this forum.

You'd enjoy that, wouldn't you. Now I know the real reason why you are writing this...

I have a very happy life and I don't spend as much time as you would lead us to believe at the computer. Right now I am typing this in between posting accounts recievable checks at work. I appreciate your concern though, but my life is none of your business.

The last I knew, we were supposed to be talking about the issues, not the person. If you have life advice for me, send it to me via PM.

Thanks,

Frank

Somewhat attention whore-ish, Frank. Most of us can figure out where the "poll" section is!

Sorry, but it's not a fight.

I already told you in the poll thread that our disagreement is what prompted me to start thinking critically about this.

I think that the ballot is not confusing, but Delija has made some good points so I wanted to bring it to a poll to see what others think.

I am also doing a research project and the poll results will be important to that.

If you want to believe that starting a thread solely to bash a member and call them names while doing it is equivalent to starting a poll then fine.

I'm not going to revist the ratzo rizzo thread, but you should be able to tell the difference between that thread and my poll.

There are no insults in my poll. No name-calling and no calling anyone out.

Read the replies to the polls--nobody seems to think (except you and Delija) that it is an attack thread.

I've even kept my opinion and any mention of delija out of my posts until he posted. And even then I asked him to bring up his disagreements with me in another thread.

Why does that comment make you think it is a fight? Just because I said he thought it was confusing?

I thought you knew me better than this.

If you think I've violated the COC, then report me to the mods.

Frank,
So after breaking my post into two sections because it exceeded 10000 characters ..... Tell me how this is anything other than a continuation that you will eventually use to prove your point in another argument, fight, skirmish, hey call it whatever you want when you and D go at it once again.

Let it go!
Let it go for the good of the forum.

Yes, I admit to being just as guilty as you in my dealings with Judge, and we often become more offensive toward each other. But at least we stay close to topic and do not try to garned support from others.

I know...but putting a link drives more hits to the poll.

The larger the sample size, the smaller the margin of error is!
