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?
