winnilaker, the leader of the opposition, agrees that the poll was cheated on. Please read his post.

If you can not debate the issues then distract and attack the debaters. What a concept.
The poll does not go your way so there must be something wrong with the poll. I point out a few items and express my opinion and you claim I’m “all excited” and I don’t know what I’m talking about. Just because you say it does not make it true. You do not retain credibility that way.
You might want to believe that YOU cause me to get all excited with these postings. You are not accurate, I was not excited when I posted my message and I’m not excited now. What does my alleged excitement have to do with a speed limit anyway? Nothing. It is a tactic you, Island Lover, use to try distract from the issue. It is because of YOU that I even bothered to take the poll. I used different methods trying to vote more than once (as you claim others could do) but I could only vote once.
Of course I read Winnilaker’s post, #25, where he seems to agree with you that a secret sub forum of another web site advocated “fixing” the poll here. He recounted a story about another website’s poll on speed limits where a group allegedly tried to do the SAME THING. Keep reading that post. “All the comments promoting a speed limit on the lake were posted by TWO people,..” It continues to indicate that a PERSON (singular) took multiple identities and poll skewing to a new level. Note that the poll tampering on that other web site was discovered and considerably more extensive than the one duplicate vote you allege took place here in this poll.

In my opinion, and the opinion of the opposition, that makes this poll invalid.

The person is entitled to ONE vote so his 2nd screen name vote should not count. That is ONE alleged bogus vote. Hardly evidence of poll invalidating tampering. Whatever it was, I think if there were real evidence of tampering webmaster Don would alert us. I have confidence in our webmaster
I agree with ITD, show us the facts. We are recognizing what you are trying to do. Let’s stop all this distracting babble and discuss the issue of Speed Limits. Add something new or thought provoking on the topic. Not rehashing old material or trying to discredit those with an opposing view. Stay on topic.
