I dunno about getting rid of them.

It would be like going on a car forum and seeing the question "what's the best car ever" or on a Shakespeare thread asking "what's his most profound work".  Everyone has their opinions, and I love reading what other people think about a subject that I for sure have some sort of opinion/bias on.
Interested in discussing:

-Prokofiev Toccata
-Scriabin Sonata 2

haha, yeah, maybe we should have a poll on what has been the worst poll ever in this forum section.
