	A poll to settle an argument Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

quote: posted by The Eliminator: The storywriters union will dissuade and discourage people from joining in. I just hate to see a bad apple (or idea) spoil the bunch.

I totally disagree with the eliminator on the crap he has said. There's only one way to settle this argument once and for all. Please participate in this poll. It's the only anonymous way to prove the Eliminator right or wrong.

Oops. Sorry for the bad grammar on the poll question. I never noticed it until it was too late.

It doesn't discourage me, why the hell would it?! It's just really a group where authors can rant and rave about the damned morons who read their stories

Just j/k, it's just a group where authors can discuss ideas, and get feedback on their stories that is better than "good".

To be honest, it helps writing as it tells you what to improve.

	Put an end to popups!

Isn't it also quite amazing how it seems the eliminator left just as suddenly as he came? Or when he ranted about my comedies because they "weren't serious enough" or how Rotten was bringing something fresh by not being in the union when he was one of the first members? Oh, can you tell I dislike the Eliminator

Don't all those psychitrists[spelling] say that people need to feel accepatance in order to succeed? Well thats what the Union does. It allows people to feel better, increasing there morale. And as we all know the happier you are then the better you'll write. Plus has anyone noticed that alot of good writers have been popping since the establishment of the Union? As far as I'm concerned getting rid of the Union would be almost as bad as getting rid of the contest. [note the key word almost].

That, and if you read the threads, the union doesn't have much power (if any) regardless, so who really cares?
