Yeah, it's been bugging me as well. The usual criticism technocracy receives on Revleft comes from anti-technology members who consider technocracy to be merely some extreme form of technology advocacy. Therefore criticism from pro-technology, progressive enough members to have joined the HPG would be something new, and could lead to potentially constructive discussions.
Because, this is meant to be a serious discussion group, members are meant to vote seriously and justify their votes with arguments. In other words, this is not chit-chat where you vote for the funniest option in poll. Perhaps we should just make all polls publice from here on, to avoid that kind of thing.
