there may also be the fact that a lot of listeners think the dixies are bollox anyway and are purely voting so they don't have to listen to their music

maybe i should do a poll just amongst a very small sample population to say i'd like to kill a skinhead - if the majority say yes it doesn't mean i should do it
just as if i get phone calls (to my astonishment) telling me to go around college smashing peoples' computers i don't act on the majority verdict
i have some common sense and i'm no Nazi |
Killing people and smashing other people's computers is illegal. If you want to smash something you paid for, this is your right. |
the hyperbole was to show that it comes down to common sense at the end - and since people were tying this to free speech etc i thought it should be mentioned
let's face it not everyone has the time to phone a radio station, nor would many know of the poll, most people who don't want them banned would say "i don't want them banned but i don't need to phone up to tell them that" whereas you always get the conservative nutters who phone up cos they've nothing better to do who somehow thing they are doing a good deed for humanity...
