I think you're polls got to numerous
I once posted a poll about how people felt about polls... and the majority said they like seeing polls in the forum, which is why I write them in the first place.
Another reason I write polls is because many people seem to want to answer, but don't want to write a post or don't know how to word what they want to say.
I see polls as a way of reaching out to those who want to participate but may not have the words in mind of how to do so. I figure, if some people don't like polls, all they have to do is choose not to read or answer them. It's no big deal. *shrugs*
Believe it or not, a lot of thought and prayer goes into writing out the poll choices. They're often incomplete, but I go with what I'm thinking at the time.
I would also challenge anyone who doesn't think they like polls to try writing a few themselves... It's more challenging that you think, I promise.
