I have an observation on the poll, which I find to be a false dilemma (trilemma). It occurs when an argument offers a false range of choices and requires that you pick one of them. The possibilities are presented as if they are the only ones available. If you concede to pick one of those choices, you accept the premise that those choices are indeed the only ones possible. It' s an attempt to frame a debate as being a choice between three options when, in fact, there could be other options available.Ceterum censeo OTF esse delendam.
That's crap.
I wanted a basic poll, there's absolutely no need to decorate this discussion and make the OTF out to be more important than it is.
I asked if the OTF should or should not be deleted. There are only three main answers to that; Yes, No or Don't Care/Mind.
If you look, I stated (example) at the end of each option to make people aware that the answers/reasons I provided were only examples that I had come up with, I presumed everyone would take the initiative and elaborate when they had chosen their option on the poll.
For example;
Yes - GIVE A REASON OF YOUR OWN
No - GIVE A REASON OF YOUR OWN
Don't Care/Mind - WHY?
Is it my fault or the fault of the flexible poll that people didn't provide one another with reason of their own? I would have thought it was self explanatory.
Lethal - It doesn't state anywhere that the OTF is or isn't the main reason for coming to KMC. I simply wanted peoples' opinions on whether the OTF should be deleted or not and why they felt the way they do.
I think some of you may need to take the time to read the thread, as most of us have done. Or just don't post.
