You think you're the only one that's been offended?

BTW your graphs do not include Sugar, MATE, Cinnamon, and others.

Yes. I would say they are way off.

And by poll I meant an actual vote on the main www.fedoraproject.org.

My intention was not to offend, but merely point out that there seems
to be a consensus that has been predicated by your co-workers.
