The "moron" thread was one of the most unfortunate things I've seen yet on the internet.

The motive of the author was apparent, but I think it backfired on him.

The subject of the thread bounced back to around 70% in favor (not a moron, of course), and I'm sure that he would have recovered to a number much higher if it had gone on longer.

The subject of the thread took the poll as good natured as he could, showing constaint that I'm not sure I could endure given the circumstances.

It is very unfortunate that it went on as long as it did.

It's a shame and I hope this will not prevent him from posting to this forum.
