Yeah, I know, but I've re-started the poll once already. My bad entirely, but I've made an executive decision to just say "Fuck it" and press on. We'll do a proper one next month, but chardmonster's right. it's a book club, we can't spend the full month just picking a book. the important thing is to press on, get a book chosen (hopefully leaving people some time to track down the book) and learn from this month's mistakes next month.

You may be right about chardmonster, she may just be taking the opportunity to put someone down for fun... or maybe she's trying to help and is just the type of person who finds it easy to communicate in criticism. I'm not saying it's inherently a bad way to be, but it is easy to be misunderstood as a troll, and if that's the case I kind of have an obligation to pay her heed. I can't just say "I don't like the way you choose to express your thoughts, so I'm going to ignore you." Well, I can, but that'd make me someone I do not wish to be.

You never have the obligation to pay me or anyone else "heed." Jesus, dude.

Yes, you are totally allowed to ignore certain people if they annoy you. This is a fandom website, not your job!

I disagree. If I assume you're trying to be genuinely helpful (and I do believe you are) and I dismiss you as a troll because I don't like how you communicate, that makes me at best just a little petulant, and not at all someone I want to be. I don't have to do what you tell me, but I owe you the basic level of respect to consider your input.

HEED ME!

Okay, but--just not dealing with someone who annoys you isn't "dismissing them as a troll." It's preserving your mood. Even if someone's trying to be helpful, you're still allowed to ignore them so long as you do so politely. There are multiple people interested in book club and you don't have to address all of us--you've got other stuff to do!

I didn't mean my first comment about picking a book to come off as that harsh, by the way.

"you're still allowed to ignore them so long as you do so politely"

Yeah, I'm allowed to, but it's still not very nice. You're trying to help, however it comes off, you (or anyone else trying to help) deserves me doing my best to be nice. I don't think we'll agree on this. This is just how I choose to conduct myself.
