As the first guy who actually replied to your questionnaire....

How would you react if you were hanging around with a group of friends and some guy stepped in and started asking you all a few questions? No introduction, no nothing, just a "please, fill these out as best you can".

You probably wouldn't do that to other people in the face, why do you do it here? Just as in real life, it's impolite.
Regardless of our "religious bent", we are people and we don't like being treated impolitely.... remember the Jim Jeffries first... and only... commandment: Don't be a cunt!
