There is no relationship between this assessment and the responses you received to your poll. I just ran through the first few levels of response and found not one person who said you shouldn't participate.

I've been told on three occasions to leave this forum, three different
people made this request.

In response to your poll? Besides, since when does 3 = 7? For that matter, when since when does 11 = 26? I count only 11 people contributing to the thread initiated by your poll, and you claim to have votes from 26 people.

I've also noticed demands by various other folks that other posters
leave this forum, too, despite them posting *on-topic* and in
a courteous manner.

Do a google search for "leave" for this forum. Not only is this word
being discussed dealing with its usage and meaning, but also
it is being used by a number of people demanding someone
leave this forum...and it's not just me that this is being
directed at.

You're drifting. I have no idea who you're talking about, whether they're people who ever contributed regularly or who are still contributing now or who have ever engaged in discussion with you. If you go cherry-picking "data" from here and there, then you can give the illusion of any outcome you have a mind to simulate. Now, you took a poll, and you got responses. Not all of them expressed an opinion to the effect whether you should or shouldn't participate. Is there some reason why you can't honestly and correctly report the actual numbers *from that poll* who explicitly said you should leave and those who explicitly said there isn't any reason why you shouldn't, instead of making numbers up and then revealing that they really incorporate a few impressions you got here, a few you got there, some that have nothing to do with you at all, and then on top of it pretending a preference is the same as a belief in the right to demand. Do you think the fact that you're fudging the results isn't clear as day?
