Theoretically, there was supposed to be another poll two weeks ago.

So of course, nothing has happened yet.

I sort f wonder if maybe the Wikiversity incursion was maybe a test to see if he could get away with forcing something on this issue. And if so, I wonder how he thinks about the experiment's results.

Hmm, so you are saying he was being a troll, he was inappropriately using WP:POINT and he was performing an ethical breaching experiment.

Yep, I'd agree. tongue.gif

Jimbo doesn't plan that far ahead. His "intelligence" on such issues is almost entirely instinctive.

It's really ironic to observe, after Jimbo declared all scholarly research on ethical breaching experiments to be "beyond scope", how many de facto breaching incursions have occurred in the past week or two.

Likely true. But I've noticed my dog sticks a paw in the water to test the current before she jumps in.

Your dog probably isn't used to playing online MMPORGs, where death and resurrection are no big thing.
