Poll Question:

When you read a piece of work by a Black Case, do you find yourself thinking, ‘Well, this was only written by a lowly little Black Case…’?

When you receive a review you don’t like from a Black Case, do you find yourself thinking, ‘Well, this was only written by a Black Case and they don’t really have a grasp on what they’re talking about…’?

When you see that someone is a Black Case, do you find yourself thinking, ‘That’s only a Black Case and they’re not really very important…’? Even though, of course, they might be a far more experienced, skilled and talented writer than you are?

Do you even find yourself silently sneering at personal friends, members of your family or even your own partner because they’re a Black Case and you’re something higher?

In short, in your heart of hearts, in the deepest pit of your gut, are Black Cases inferior?

Yes, definitely? Just a little bit? Not at all? Sometimes? Depends?...

Are you a non-Black Case who holds this ugly prejudice? Are you in denial about it? Do you want to talk about it and confront your attitudes – however unconscious they may be? Or is there absolutely nothing wrong with your current way of thinking?

Can you remember what it was like to be a Black Case? Does that make you more sympathetic towards them, or do you think they should have to put up with a rough ride just like you had to?

Are you a Black Case, and if so, do you believe you are a victim of this hideous prejudice?

Are you reading another totally daft poll designed to get more attention than it deserves? Or is this a serious issue nobody likes to talk about seriously, but which needs a greater exploration? Should we book a slot on Jerry Springer?

No, forget Springer! Join me, HERE, on the GreySquirrel Show!...

Please take my poll, to help me gather more information, by choosing which of the following most accurately describes your position:


A. I am a Yellow Case or above, and I think Black Cases are inferior and that’s that.

B. I am a Yellow Case or above, and I think Black Cases are pretty inferior in the scale of things, but not necessarily all of the time or in the case of every user.

C. I am a Yellow Case or above, and I know I suffer from an inner prejudice against Black Cases, but I’m aware of this and am working to overcome it.

D. I am a Yellow Case or above, and I have no prejudice whatsoever – unconscious or otherwise – against Black Cases.

E. I am a Black Case and I am inferior. All of my Black Case friends are inferior too.

F. I am a Black Case and I am inferior personally, but I’m not sure it is fair to say that all Black Cases are inferior. After all, everybody began as a Black Case, didn’t they? And aren’t some of our very best writers, reviewers and activity organisers Black Cases, as well?...

G. I am a Black Case and I am not inferior, but I suppose on the whole, us Black Cases are a pretty inferior bunch. When can I become a Yellow Case?

H. I am a Black Case and I am certainly not inferior, but I am absolutely fed up with all this stupid talk about my inferiority. There is too much prejudice against Black Cases and it’s getting on my nerves. Black Cases rule!

I. I am a Black Case, and I don’t think Black Cases are particularly inferior or superior to anybody else. I don’t think we are really victims of prejudice either. If we are prejudiced against, the people doing the prejudicing are so narrow-minded that I shan’t attach too much importance to their opinions anyway. So, who cares?
