I can't make any further changes to the form to add additional options, as I also stated, and I explained why. I'm sorry you feel it's biased. I feel I did my best to not make it that way. I'm human, I'm not a scientist or a statistician. I'm just someone who plays a video game. I did NOT bias the answers toward being all positive, and allowed plenty of opportunity for negative responses and individual elaborations which will be counted when it's time for the final tally. If you feel it's biased, I'm afraid you're reading too much into it.
The data, including the names, isn't going to be retained anywhere once the article is completed.
I appreciate peoples' feedback, but I'm going to step back from here. Again, if someone doesn't feel right about filling it out, then don't. It's not that big of a deal.
Don't sweat it, it's not much of a big deal. I chose to answer nevertheless because 1) I felt I had to represent a point of view that isn't exactly mainstream, and 2) I wouldn't have taken the time to fill that survey if I truly had a serious issue with it.
Good luck!
