I will not make radical changes typically to a poll upstream. Your desire for one selection will be respected, as its not overtly hard for someone to identify their most traumatic vs. wanting all events. There has to be a line drawn and I agree with you in that regard. I only added the extra options purely to maintain a placebo effect within a poll. A poll could be like a study if you like, in that if you go searching for a specific answer you will find it, though is it necessarily accurate when you have narrowed results to pre-determine an outcome? So I modify polls to ensure they are spread accurately to obtain a full effect scenario as much as required. Some things are a yes or no, being a closed statement. When you make something an open statement, which means more than a yes or no response, you need to ensure the full coverage is sought. Often a poll can be posted here and it is the members who identify aspects that should be included because we cannot think of everything by ourselves. Yes, not all suggestions warrant changing a poll, some do though. I would not change this poll for multiple choice, as I do not see it warrants it even though some members would like it... has nothing to do with the result obtained, if anything, would taint the result due to the nature of trauma and most ensure trauma in their life. Where would one stop at their choices? It would depend on what each views as traumatic, hence why I agree this poll is just fine the way it is.
Again, I only add or reduce choices depending on the question asked and to ensure a fair and broad outcome to suit the forum demographics.
