You just disclosed results of the survey before it ends, meaning people who
fill out the survey are biased on what majority thinks and vote under peer
pressure. Scientificly
+1 to what Lane says.
I will not comment here on whether or not a specific user should be
removed from the list, but I do feel that a survey like this one should
not be sent to this list, especially from only one person without any
apparent peer vetting etc. I would generally support considere
Presumably a large majority of people didn't bother to respond to the
survey.
If you want to continue running surveys pushing your personal agenda until
everyone except your fan-club ignores you and you get the results you want,
I can't stop you, I can merely castigate you and recommend that the

Risker raises the point of moderating research requests. I do not want to
comment on this survey in particular, but in general, many researchers

Hoi,
I am troubled with the ease doubt is raised about people contributing to
this mailing list/ our community/ our projects. This is a mailing list that
has the option of moderation. That is already in itself a sure way of
driving people away. However, it is not the same as going whole hog and ban

James,
As is fairly typical with your proposals, most of the proposals in the
survey (free healthcare, universal basic income, etc.) have very little to

actually connecting it to the Foundation's mission, although sadly it
I've heard confusion from a couple folks and want to make sure it's clear
here that this survey is coming from you as an individual, Jim, and has no
