I'm sure you could have put it another way then you did.
But to link to a discussion, then to say "you feel" like a fast one is being pulled, I think was improper. You may not have meant it, but it had the unintended effect of being in the back of my mind when I was evaluating the discussion. We have to be mindful that we do not canvass, directly or indirectly. We also have to be careful not to sully people unintentionally.
..."this one feels a little like an attempt to pull a fast one."

Please consider your wording when linking discussion in the future on this list.

I firstly invited the proposers to advertise here themselves, they didn't want to.
Frankly, the timing of the poll with its incredibly short duration, and the dismissal of the concerns when I raised them quietly with the proposers worried me far more than the policy itself. Attempts to create policy in this way look less than transparent.
I was not posting here to "advertise" the poll, as much as to express my frustration and concern at the way it was being conducted.
Am I not allowed to do that? Does NPOV apply to the mailing list now?
