“as written, language/self-expression/communication of intent”
In that case, yes the law is silly and uninspired

“Poe’s Law does NOT apply to someone who sincerely believes in ..”
correct, I in no way am disputing that sentence.
though the point is there is no way to know what you believe
“Now back to me. … Do you ubiq (or anyone else here) seriously doubt how I’ll vote on the issue?”
Yes! that is the point. I’m 90% sure you’d vote to continue Woman’s suffrage. but I’m not 100% sure. there is just no way to know from your post. I’m 90% sure you are parodying someone who believes that, but with no winky face, I’m just not sure and it is possible that you might actually mean it.
That is precisely my point, you are the embodiment of Poe’s law . You say your position is sincere but I (and many posters ) don’t believe you.
and this is PRECISLY why Poe’s law is so brilliant. There is no way to know. sure we can all guess and looking at the pattern of your posts, with “rayos” that make so little sense to anyone with a shred of thought (see below) I Find it astonishing that anyone thinks you are serious. Yet, many do and even I’m not 100% certain that you are kidding
I would be curious though to see other votes in your poll. perhaps a new thread?
your raya from 100 years ago is absurd. If if most people in Germany in th 40’s thought gassing Jews was ok, does that mean the position isn’t extreme?
Which brings us to another great internet law: Godwin’s law
