I think that the options in this vote are inadequate, or at least that they
imply that "I believe that his actions performed a service" means "I don't
think they should string him up" and that "it wasn't a service" means "He
should be strung up".

Please restate this vote, tossing all previous entries, and ask in this form:

yes) it was a service, regardless of what happens to him.

no) it was not a service, regardless of what happens to him.

or else perhaps

yes) he should be strung up, regardless of whether it was a service

no) he should not be strung up, regardless of whether it was a service


Otherwise I feel that peoples' votes will not be representative of their
opinions on these TWO different issues.
