So I added a poll recenrtly and many JREF'ers ventured into wild cospiracy theorizing, but not Oystein, (thanks) take look at these comments:

6 to 57 now. No doubt there is a conspiracy against 'Debunking the Debunkers' at foot

[It's funny taking a jab about conspiracy theories using the derogatory connotation. It's even funnier/ironic/ and hypocritical when JREF members do it, read below.]
NoahFence said:
16 Yes
132 No
1 Maybe
oops. Not going according to plan?
Oystein said:
I am emailing with JM Talboo, one of the contributors to that blog, and we are on friendly and respectful terms. ...
JM actually thanked me briefly for posting the link here

It must have been an inside job !
If that's not evidence of an inside job, then I don't know what is
It's a good job there is an option to change your vote.

Just goes to show the dishonesty of these people

Wow, that is some staggering, ridiculous, shameless dishonesty And if enough people change their vote the poll question will no doubt magically transmogrify yet again.
Just like I always say, you don't have to be a sociopath to be a Truther...
...but it certainly would explain a lot.
Oystein's commentary on other posts, his text bolded, the quoted text italisized:

It received outside help from whatreallyhappened.com http://whatreallyhappened.com/node/226497 - that was posted on March 17, the day before you noticed the "Yes" had gone up sharply. JM told me they got most traffic to their post and poll from there (more than 1700 page views, compared to 130 from forums.randi.org).
I don't think anything was manipulated

It was a jump of 700 yes votes, As to whether the poll was manipulated before it was posted on WRH we will never know.
John-Michael Talboo:
Go ahead and use the poll option on blogger.com and you will find this... just as I suspected.
