Sorry Miguel, I was simply replying to ODH's concerns about Christians starting polls to remove anti-christian references from chocky. "God Botherer" was ODH's word, I only quoted it and I even misspelled it. Sorry I neglected to quote his post more obviously.

I assumed from both yours and Sabu's post that you voted "Yes" to the poll. I can see the "irony" in this, even if you can't.

As for "singling you out", both you and Sabu have openly talked about your faith on here, you have "singled out" yourself. The posts both of you make will be associated with your beliefs (and your religion) by many every time you post, if you didn't want this then you shouldn't have discussed your beliefs on chocky.

For the record, I have both gay and christian friends and I wouldn't write or behave on here any differently than I would when I was with them. Also, for the record I voted "No"
