I never DU rec posts, and I'm starting to reconsider participating in polls as well, ever since reading what someone in another poll thread had to say about knowing peoples' characters by how they voted on the polls.

Which is one reason why, if I do participate in a poll, I tend to vote without actually choosing a side. I figure if I'm going to be judged as a person for what I post on an internet discussion group, I might as well make those who would judge me actually do a bit of work.

Reading my words, I mean, and not just deciding who I am and what I stand for based on a click of my mouse.

That whole judging people by recs or poll choices is kind of creepy anyway...

IMO.

I judge people by how they treat me.
