    Good news, OldAle is alive!
    He responded to my PM from earlier today. He's undecided yet whether he wants to continue the polls, but said he'll "probably start posting again, whether or not I want to do the polls, and so I'll think about it this afternoon while out and about, and get back to you in a little while." Good stuff.
    I'll be waiting, with a gun and a pack of sandwiches.

        Thanks, flaiky! At this point I think we can agree that we will wait to hear from OldAle before taking any further action.

            It's nice of you and some others here to want to take over hosting the polls. I'd offer, but I have zero patience for this sort of thing and besides, I'm on too many ignore listsha ha.
            I sure hope that Ale comes back. His work with the polls is much appreciated. I've always been grateful to those who take the time to run polls, quizzes, etc. It takes a lot of work and it's all voluntary.
            As for the years, maybe try doing years which were covered several years ago. The results might be different this time around, with different people responding and all that.
            Good luck!

              I hope he isn't behaving like a sissy-pansy because of what happened that time a couple of months ago..

              Here's the thread, in case you try another one of your "I wasn't talking about him" dodges (note that your post was self-deleted shortly after Clore called you on it):

                That was beyond shocking, even from men in big trucks with gun racks overhead. Please come into the 2000s..

                  Maybe it will turn out that her evil twin made that original post calling Ale a sissy-pansy. Or maybe there's a madman in Edmonton who breaks into people's homes and either steals homework or uses the PCs to ruin reputations.

                      Oh geez.I just didn't want to see Ale chased off the board just because one person took over the poll without his permission. He has a LOT of support here, so why not come back?

                        Good grief. She evens puts it in the post title as well. There is no hope.

                            Yes, she posted all kinds of crap about me too & that is why I came back. I know her true nature too. Bet she really wishes she hadn't done that now.

                                  Typical MEQ, she tries to pivot to her being the victim after she has attempted to insulted someone. I've been through this before also.

                                    Oh, I'll bet he knows what he's missing alright. He's probably just not missing it.
                                    She's textbook NPD disorder with trying to play the victim card immediately following her being a victimizer. I sometimes wonder if she practices faces in the bathroom mirror, trying to mimic the appropriate expressions that normal people are 'supposed' to wear when something sad/bad/what-have-you occurs, as I've read some psychopathic personalities do, since they seem to lack the neuro-wiring that would generate these expressions as part of a natural, normal empathic response.
                                    Could explain one reason she spends so much time in the can, though that may be even more disturbing to contemplate than the other reasons.

                                      Guys.does this really need to turn into yet another endless mocking MrsEQ thread? You've already got a couple of them on the first page. I find her annoying as well but obsessing over her posts just seems pointless.

                                        She's referred to a well-liked and respected user here as a 'sissy-pansy', which she's now attempting, in her usual fashion, to a.) make sound as if she were the victim rather than the person she flung the abuse at; b.) to once again 'cutely' try to deny that her words mean what they clearly do mean, and also that she she wasn't referring to the individual whom she clearly was referring to. The term itself is disgusting and degrading enough to warrant condemnation, her applying it to OldAle is inexcusable.
                                        If being bothered by that sufficiently to continue to point it out when she does it is 'obsessive', I'll happily wear the label. Frankly, I more consider it more along the lines of having some loyalty to good people, and having some concern for the integrity of the board.

                                          We're trying to encourage Ale to return though, and being directly targetted and criticised is exactly what drove him away. Does he really need to know EQ said that? It looks like you condemned her for it at the time so it could have been left at that.
                                          It's also just getting boring to see the exact same group of users turn up and jump on any opportunity to slam her. I agree with what you all say butstill. It's overkill IMO, and totally gives her the attention she seeks. She obviously loves when a thread becomes all about her and it often happens because of this hounding.
                                          Just sayin'.
