Nice Try!

How can I do that without showing my OSO name? If I can post the name of the member that sent me the PM I will. Can Chris confirm that I can break that rule?

To recap here the original intention by Islander and Island Life was to discredit the pole:

ISLANDER: Our friends over at OSO are up to the same old tricks. Sending people here to vote on the poll. There goes any possible validity.

followed it up with this statement:

ISLAND LOVER: I got an offshore only email notice of a pm. It asked me to come here and vote against speed limits.

They got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and the backpedaling began.

ISLANDER: I have deleted my post. Parrothead I'm sorry I posted it. I was told about the OSO pm from another member here.

Hmmm I wonder who told you about the OSO pm???

Now we find out it boils down to Island Lover getting ONE pm from another member of OSO telling them to vote on the poll. So he says?

Any way you slice it, it was a shameful attempt to discredit a genuine poll and debate on a subject. Typical of their behavior and I guess to be expected. But now we're "..making a mountain out of a molehill?" I guess we'll leave that up to Don.

Honestly, who cares what your OSO name is? I certainly don't. Obviously you are there as a troll anyhow- simply to dig for dirt. Its not like you couldn't use another name anyhow. Just post the PM and the name of who sent it to or admit it is fake, discredit yourself here and move on.

I am am member of OSO as well, however I can't remember the last time I looked at anything other than the classifieds.

Parrothead wants an unscientific poll?

Yup...Let's lock out the comments.

I don't know why I am bothering, but here we go......
Acres we have never met, so please stop questioning my character in a public forum. To say that I started this poll with some agenda in mind is just wrong. I guess me saying that isn't really going to make you believe me, but you are going on an assumption of my motives. As the adage goes, if you assume..., well you know the rest.
I didn't want comments because there are enough threads hashing out everyone's opinions on this topic. Do you actually believe that a poll posted on this site by someone sitting at home on a rainy day is going to affect the vote? You could of just voted that you were for speed limits to increase that number and moved on.
It was supposed to be fun, until you derailed the poll with your first post. The premise being if you were on the Senate, and able to vote on this issue, how would you vote. That was the question, and anyone that is a member of this website could vote. They wouldn't have to explain why they voted the way they did, they could vote and be done. Because we have seen how this issue can drag you in like quicksand.

Have a good weekend!
