I made at least two suggestions. One got decently upvoted (so far), another downvoted into negatives (so far)… but those two were substantially similar enough that I can’t see how the question of whether to discuss them as propositions could arouse such different responses! I’m also wondering what is being expressed by an explicit downvote of a poll suggestion here—as opposed to simply not upvoting (which is what I’ve done for suggestions I’m not excited about). Is it something like, ‘I expect discussing this proposition to be actively harmful’?

I upvoted one and downvoted the other just because I wanted to avoid duplicates and liked the framing of the one better than the other.
