, saying “I’m doing this for your own good” does not negate the act of drunkenly abusing one’s children.  Similarly, declaring that you are not canvasing when that is precisely what you are doing does not in any way change the act that was performed.  The FACT of the matter is that you induced Collect to come here and participate in your straw poll.  Had you summoned Collect when no poll was taking place then your act would be less suspicious, but the summoning of allies to influence a polling action is precisely the sort of activity that WP:canvass prohibits.  Frankly, your canvassing is so overt that I’m surprised that you’d bother to deny it.  76.107.171.90
