Oh, I've discovered with most polls that people usually comment when the ticky boxes don't fit what they want to say. Or they feel a need to explain their answers.
This poll is dicey because at least two of the questions have lead to nasty flamewars online mainly because the issues reflected in those two questions reflect real issues, buttons that people feel very strongly about. (Not everyone believes that an act can be redeemed or can be defended. Mileage varies the most I've found in the indefensible act and redemptive arc bits. This is true in real life as well, when I worked as in defender project and as an intern in the public defender's project, as well as in Domestic Violence - I discovered mileage varied. Some people see the world in very absolute terms, others see it as being far more complicated.)
Polls are better than memes in a way, because you feel less exposed, you can just vote and be anynonmous. And by doing so, you can see how others view things - but without engaging directly and fighting one another. It's safer. Or so I've found.
