Before we begin
Let’s be clear, this is not a rigorous scientific survey, and it should not be used as proof of anything. It was a quick and dirty information gathering exercise. Here’s why
Validity of Participants - There was no participant validation, the survey was public, anyone could submit one including trolls and rival fans.
Validity of Answers – There was no verification of answers, participants could put whatever answer they felt like, trolls and rivals included.
Question Framing – There were a number of questions which were poorly designed, that’s my fault, it was a rush job.
While I have filtered 99% of the homophobic, bigoted, quasi-racist crap that our deluded rivals have posted, it’s likely that one or two still got through.
That said, we got over 400 seemingly valid responses, as a sample of 1200 or so cove members, I’m confident that its pretty accurate.
