Could the BNP voter please unfriend me? (Still: could be worse, [livejournal.com profile] nils has lots).

In other news: [livejournal.com profile] tamaranth 1, DRM 0. (I don't mind paying money for ebooks. I do mind only being able to read 'em on the laptop.)

In other other news: 'Hot Red' is darker than one might think.

And finally: GIN and a good book.

At least when I ran mine through this I didn't have any BNP supporters. If I did, I'd have been taking a very similar line to you I think.

Somebody might be signing their friends (or enemies) up as BNP voters. Is there any authentication on that site?

No, none whatsoever.

Just-a-bit-of-fun, then.

Having said which, elsewhere a friend has run a comparison LJ-poll, and give (or, happily, take) the odd BNP vote the results aren't too dissimilar.

There are real people -- people one knows -- who might vote BNP? This is very wrong.

well, I'm sure there are real people who do vote BNP, but I prefer [livejournal.com profile] zotz's explanation above: no authentication on the vote-site so people can masquerade as another LJ user ...

I only had the one BNP voter when I first posted this, but have added another half dozen in the two hours since my post, presumably in response to my comment about unfriending. I suspect someones not taking this entirely seriously...

You did seem to be ... improbably infested. Suspect you're right that these results should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Turns out I was one of the BNP voters, so shall go off and unfriend myself. (Have changed my vote back to what it was...)

Phew!

I don't think the BNP would let you vote for them, anyway: you're Foreign, after all...

I'm not sure if Im the kind of foreigner they object to, though... ;-)
