Epignosis, in the first thread I was the first one (when Genesis was wining by a couple votes) to suggest both bands were promoted, bering that no other band reached the number of votes this two bands reached..

And still believe that (even when Genesis is wining by 20%)

But please, don't tell me that a lot of Yes fans didn't protested because Yes had lost, I believe you about not liking the way it was closed (even when it was in the determined day), you know me enough to be aware that if I beliieved you bitched without reason, I would had mention your name.

But a lot of people bitched just because it was Yes, and bending the rules is something that pisses me, but what pisses me is that when I insit in the rules being respectes, I'm accused of crying, when lots of Yes fans did the same a few days ago and it was OK.

Now the fans of bands that were declared not winers, can protest because a ruling had been overturned,.

And BTW: As a lawyer I pay attention to everything, if it says Sept. 19 with no mention of hour, the closing can be done at any time of the day, much more in a poll of a forum, I protested official doocuments the same day they expired and won the cases..

This shouldn't be allowed once the poll is closed, or at least admit the two bands

This poll is worth nothing if Yes fans can protest and we must accept it.

Really terrible decision.

Iván

For a lawyer, you don't pay attention. I explained why the last poll's closing was poor. It isn't about whining just because the person you vote for loses- it's about being fair. Even the pollmaker realized that.

The tournament maker has made the best decision possible. So long as he gives a fair, clear time when this poll will close and ends it accordingly, then he has righted the issue. Well done, pollmarker! Making a new poll for this round is a perfect show of fairness. Clap

Well done, sir!

Actually, Genesis won initially, but people bitched. I changed it to Yes, but people bitched. Now I made a re-match

People are still bitching.

I'm telling you, stop with the popular polls, start with the ultra, ultra obscure ones - people just don't care about them as much. LOL

Hey, this rematch has been done because a lot of Yes fans cried.

I don't give a damn who wins, but it pisses me that if you cry enough, rules will bend, if this poll meaned something, now it's worth noyhing..

Iván

And you're still crying two pages ahead FFS.

I'm not crying, I'm replying to somebody that is mentioning me repeatedly

Win who wins is the same fo me, I will still consider Genesis the best band ever, wins or loose this poll.

Remember, I'm a Proghead since the late 70's and I'm used to read polls, interviews and ratings in which Prog is trashed, and my taste hasn't changed...If I cared for polls, I would be dead of anger by now.

I was just saying I would complain because it seems that each time somebody complains a rule is brooken, and that really pisses me.

butthurt much? LOL

Genesis AGAIN.

I think we've had enough deliberation on this match. No reason why we can't do the next round as well.

Poll Question: Which of these bands do you prefer?
Poll Choice	Votes	Poll Statistics
Genesis	138	[50.00%]
Yes	138	[50.00%]
