Stuffing the ballot box…
Posted by Ivory under: General .
Oh well… so much for "A Scout is Trustworthy, Honest", etc, etc. It seems that there are some on the pro-logging side of things that feel this does not apply to them.
I looked at the underlying records of the polling data and discovered that there has been a lot of ballot box stuffing going on by the same people who believe that the logging was a right and just thing to do. Yes, it’s true that I did not put huge protections and warnings in place, telling people to only vote once. I kinda thought that was somewhat implied. Silly me.
For example, for the roughly 30 days I’ve had the polls in place, I find that…
- Somebody at IP address 208.105.228.131 felt they had to pollute the survey by voting in favor of the logging 11 times.
- Some clown with 24.59.44.17 as an IP address felt that their pro-council, pro-logging opinion merited 10 votes, not just one.
- The person at 74.71.47.135 was just about as insistent, having voted 9 times in favor of the logging.
It goes on. … And on. … And on.
Lovely.
These are the same people who provide personal attacks against my intent and honesty. I’ve invited and welcomed open and fair discourse on this issue, and have done no censoring whatsoever to any comments posted on this forum.
I’m sorry, but the credibility of the pro-logging, pro-council people has taken a significant hit because of these adolescent actions. So go ahead children, work yourselves into a lather again, complaining that the one with an agenda. Take shots at the messenger. It’s easier to do this than to step back and question your leadership or actions.
In the mean time, I’ll try to button things up a bit to slow down the ballot box stuffing and to clean out the debris these people have left in their wake.
