Somebody's being a douchebag.
If you don't like a topic, proper responses can include: 1) Don't participate, 2) Downvote, 3) Make a comment saying why you dislike discussion of the topic.
The proper response is NOT to sabotage the topic.
The reason this site maintains relatively high levels of rational discourse, rather than trolling and flame wars, etc, is because we all do our best to follow the social contract of this site. Breaking the contract (via actions such as sabotaging polls, karmassassination, etc) pushes the LW dynamic away from all the things we like (open, reasoned discussion, thoughtful ideas, etc) and towards the things we don't like (i.e. 4chan)
tl;dr- Don't be a douchebag.
We can still view the individual responses and ignore this one.
Fortunately, we can still view individual replies.
If at least one person is being obnoxious enough to enter completely nonsensical numbers, then probably some people are being less blatantly obnoxious -- e.g., entering plausible but wrong answers (such as their own estimates of their IQ). Not that any poll of this sort is immune to such things.
