What you implied with your poll was silly, and you gave no option for 
people to disagree. Any time a poll is edited all the votes are 
reset, but since no one had voted yet there was no harm in adding a 
fourth, fair option. I did not edit your (loaded) question at all.

No, you are not allowed to make personal attacks / insults lest you 
be banned, which is exactly what your poll was. If I thought you were 
just lightly joking like Alexis did etc I would not have cared. You 
had already posted similar jokes repeatedly to this list. There's a 
difference between joking like you do with friends, and being 
offensively insulting.
