I partially get that point and I already repeatedly confirmed the ambiguity. But I only partially get the aggression and the fuss. The people who know you, know your standpoint. And why would someone care about the others? Again: It's a poll in a user forum, not an assessment center.

Do not take this in the wrong way, but I think that is very naive.
There are over 230,000 members of the MobileRead forums. We all don't know each other or our POV's.
Do you think that the only people who read this forum are the ones who regularly post here?
People would rightly be pissed if someone looks at the responses to the poll, reads the names of who answered what question, and draws incorrect conclusions about the activities of that member. In this current climate, no one wants to be the recipient of a "cease and desist" letter from a law firm because of an innocent response to a poll.
