::duuuude, you've gotta chill. No need for the passive-aggressiveness. The point of the poll is that the merge question is black-or-white. Either it will happen or it won't. There's no compromise. Therefore, it seems it will happen if the majority of concerned editors deem it so (think of this as a kind of VfD). Yes, voting is not the best way to go about it, but you know what? I don't think you're gonna change your mind, and those who want to merge (who also seem to actually know the most about this genre) are not going to change there's. - And point scoring? How about this for point scoring: after going to raves and organizing them for 10 years, i can tell you that glowsticking is a fucking git-magnet. One love.
