| This option shouldn't be selected either. If I vote this, I did not read the answer, or I am deliberately messing with the accuracy of the poll. |

I guess it's not so common on Imamother. I, for one, had never heard it before, and was a little taken aback, to be honest.

Can you back that up with anything at all?

Comparatively accurate polls are still inaccurate. The 538 polls that was touted earlier in the thead was still wildly inaccurate predicting Hillary as the winner. This had nothing to do with people answering polls being correlated to those that vote. Hillary had the popular vote and lost the election by a landslide.

Maybe I'm too used to the joke/meme, but I find it hard to imagine someone construing it as serious. What did you think I meant?

Please dont bring politics into this thread. Even as a side comment. Think of another comparison. Thanks.

I don't know her well enough to draw that conclusion, or for anyone to take it seriously if I would.

Listen, I'm glad to hear it was a joke!
It just sounded like you were angry/disgusted about her making a joke out of your post.
It's a good lesson for me in Dan Lekaf Zechus, so thanks!

Ummm, op put it as an option in her poll. I'm sure she expected a number of us to vote for the 2 options that said 'don't choose this one'. I did, and so did many others!
By the way, I am happy to be called a madwoman!

I know, that's why I was so surprised. I had honestly never heard of madwoman being used in a positive or even pareve context before.
(ETA: In case this wasn't clear, I was not the one who reported the post.)
