hi,
I tried to read as much as possible of this thread and give my own opinion. Most of the things have been said, so just about the poll:
seems like a good idea to me. It should be running long enough and people should be encouraged to vote for it but not without serious concidering their answer before voting. If feel like, if you vote too fast, your answer is not thought-trough (it that a word?)
Yop, I like your suggestion for the poll. It needs to have enough "nuance", not just black or white options.
I'll vote for sure. It's important to participate I think. In the end this is a forum for everyone, and I'd hate to see freedom of speech fading away.
