There was a valid questioning of why the poll was generated and kept active for so long even though the numbers pretty much took their final form after the first week. In response to that you concocted this ridiculous example in which people who supported keeping the thread are implicitly linked to those supporting slavery. That link is there regardless of how much you preface your scenario, and that's what RyZ was taking issue with.

There are (were) good arguments to be made for getting rid of the thread, none of which involve reaching for over the top parallels to slavery or any other real world example of minority oppression.
