This poll appears to be an ad hominem attack. I don't see how the results either way could speak to the validity of "Ladder Theory".
Much like any other theory, I would like to see empirical evidence beyond personal anecdotes. I don't know of any social psychologists that use ladder theory in their research. I have also never seen any empirical investigations of the theory appear in a peer reviewed scientific journal.
EDIT: I suppose that if all people are using to support or refute the theory is personal experience, ad hominem attacks might be appropriate.
