Should dominants be respected differently than subs?
Is that the question for the poll?
This poll asks "Apparently more think so than I thought" as the poll question, which is usually listed above the available poll answers, and not in a subsequent post.
That's the way polls usually work, and in part demonstrates the inherent fallacy of polls. The only available answers are those intended by the pollster to bring you to their train of thought. Unless an answer exists for every possibility encompassed by the question being polled, or an "Other" (not applicable) copout answer available, the validity and bias of the poll are indeed questionable.
If I polled and asked "Are you happy with my kewl new poll", but only included two answers:
- "Yes"
- "No, but I'm an idiot who shits my pants and then eats it, but won't share"
... it would be pretty obvious from my available poll answers that I'm manipulating the results, quite possibly to push my own agenda.
What I don't understand is the amazing popularity of polls this week... asking the same old questions that have been debated in many threads. It sure does appear that some pollsters may be driving their own agendas, and didn't like the debates from before.
Perhaps it's simply excitement and discovery of a new toy?
Shall we coin a new term... "overpoll"?
This poll is off to a very bad start with it's listed question, and the two available answers make it appear to be very biased.
In this poll, a dominant, switch or slave has only one answer:
- "Yes you moron"
...otherwise they have to lie and say
- "No, I'm a sub"
Isn't that type of control very similar to "Spin Doctoring", or "Propaganda"... it certainly isn't scientific by any stretch of the imagination. The "Plus or Minus" (PORM) error factor on this particular poll (based solely on available answers) could not possibly be below PORM 100%... and IMHO that constitutes "disinformation manipulation" in it's essence.
