What I love is when PUBLIC polls don't go the way someone wants, and they blame brigading, insinuating (but not outright saying because it isn't true) that the people they wanted to vote their way didn't have a chance for their vote to be heard or something because of the "brigaders"...

Like bitch, you made it a fucking public poll, accessible to everyone publicly. The point of polls is that everyone the poll is accessible to, who care enough to vote, vote. The results are the results, there is nothing more to it.

If it didn't go your way, then you need to accept that most people don't share your opinion, and you should really do a better job at trying to express your opinion, rather than blame others for not agreeing with you as if it is some conspiracy.

The only time brigading is legitimate is when a group of users outside of the domain vote. Like if there was a vote on the National Aquarium website that asked what the best marine animal was, and it was only open to members. If people who weren't members voted, and voted against the majority of members, THAT would be brigading.
