I'm a bit suprised by the poll results. First off, fortunately no one favors giving Elmer's wing to Quinn Tyler Jackson. Quinn is a good guy and prominent alternative education advocate.
Secondly, I thought that Uncle J would have been close to a unanimous choice with Bomber Douglas maybe getting one vote. (he ended up tied with Charlie Sheen) There were some good reasons for not voting for Unc - a Gollin vote has its merits but there was an even more important point. It has been two years but I had forgotten the depth of animosity and visceral hatred that DesElms stirred in our members. I checked some of his old DI posts and yes, his wing in the Hall of Shame was legitimately earned and should remain open until we're sure that he will never return to DL in any capacity other than a bad memory. In terms of pure dickishness, Elmer was much worse than any other single individual at DI or DD, including Gus.
