"How can you say this stuff without being behind the scenes to see for yourself?" I was asking a question, based on your supposition that this was an "innocent" mistake. I'll ask it again: how could a programmer, completely on his own, without any input from a site admin, write and post a poll and put it prominently on the front page? And why would it then STAY up for a couple of days, until Big Scary Freak Legume started to make a race of it? It seems pretty obvious to me that the decision to put the poll up was made at the admin level, just like the decision to take it down. Nobody currently on staff has said anything to indicate otherwise. Obviously the PTB thought no one would notice, or care very much,and now they're once again insulting our intelligence with some lame explanation. What an unadulterated crock of shit.
