Blue J Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Here I am. All I said was "has there been a poll? . . ."   Right. So the thread was your idea. But was it a bright idea . . . ? Another poll idea, right there! Great! Meta-polls! I don't think we're too far away from a poll that asks, "Is it a good idea to have polls on The Rush Forum?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) I think there should be a poll in which forum members are asked to rank themselves on the spectrum between idealism and cynicism, then a question that asks to what extent they think Rush music is inspirational and optimistic as opposed to dark and gloomy, then a follow-up question that asks whether they are drawn to Rush as an antidote to their cynicism or a confirmation of their idealism, then a question that asks them to speculate on whether such rankings and pairings are ultimately meaningful or misguided, then a final question that asks whether these kinds of polls make them feel more cynical or more idealistic.  edit: I see now the third question is a bit leading. It assumes that the answer to question two will be the first option given. I don't think this would be granted research ethics clearance. Geez, these polls are tricky business!!

I'd give myself a 7 out of 10 on the cynical scale but that's increased with age.  2. I think Rush music is very optimistic. Neil has a very positive outlook on life and a low bullsh*t tolerance.  2a. Confirmation of idealism.  3. The results mainly only mean something to the individual person.  4. The polls don't make me feel either way. Some times frustrated, but that's something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
