I really don't know what to make of Don Q. My only strong feeling is that some people should not be allowed to do polls

Where is the "bored crackpot trollboy" option?

he is just a guy hooked on the "poll" feature.

I assume he is either a kid, or a well-meaning character who's just a bit "off" when it comes to social interaction. In either case it would be inappropriate to create threads attacking him personally.
That said, I actually think his latest poll poses an interesting and relevant question...

It does. Too bad that wasn't his original intent.

DQ is most certainly not a kid. Likely an older gent. Despite his sometimes agenda driven polls, he's prolly an entertaining guy to hang out after a few beers.

Put him on ignore and don't click on his threads if you don't like him.
Some people get all fired up about him (in a negative way). I don't get it.

He has a lot to say and passionate about bike/ped issues. He is also riding in the
most violent bike culture in the whole USA. His eccentricity is his defense mechanism.
The delivery may not fit the accepted standard format of the boorish attack based opinion
fitting of a correct A&S post, but there can be no doubt he promotes good stuff :)
I hope Im that enthusiastic in 5 years :thumb:

If he goes to Anchorage, will you change the poll?

Only if they cut off his internet access.

He's been helpful to me:
After 4 years with putting up with anything on this site, this morning DonQ prompted me to look for and learn to use the "ignore user" feature. So he's made me learn a useful skill!

Listen, there's NOTHING MORE AMERICAN than doing polls. :thumb:
For example, do you like Coke or Pepsi?

And by the way, do you prefer peanuts or banana? :rolleyes:

I already did. I sell the t-shirt that says, "Free the monkey within"...
Have you bought one? :rolleyes:

Thank you, my dear friend. They wouldn't understand unless they lived in South Florida. :o
You want to go out, but can't, and then get frustrated and want to either fight the system in a physical way... or laugh about it.
Of course, I prefer the latter. It's so much fun!!! :thumb::thumb:
NOTE: I wouldn't be like this if I lived in Key West. :rolleyes:

I know someone hurt about the thread on people that's fat, lazy and possibly stupid did decide to launch a personal attack on someone with the opposite attributes. :rolleyes:
It must have been what he/she ate last night. ;)

Wait a minute, Kurt. Now I know IT'S YOU, and WHERE YOU COMING FROM...
You said in the other thread about diet and stupidity that I was turning "too political" and being from South Florida too, you are a strong proponent of the Banana Republica we got here.
Don't worry, amigo, you can keep your Republica because nothing can fix this jungle. Well, maybe we got the best democracy money can buy. :o

Possible?

You can buy the shirt that says, "I ride on peanuts" (or something like that)
But we can also say, "I ride on peanuts and banana." :rolleyes:

You forgot about his last visit? A&S seemed tame and calm after DQ disappeared for half a year afterwards.
Now we're back to filtering through four or five rows of nonsensical DQ postings to find any topic with the slightest of redeeming qualities. To say that DQ is spamming the forum would be more fitting.

Gentlemen, we don't start threads targeting other members. You can start all the threads you wat giving them Kudos, but don't target then negatively. Thanks
