Seems to me like she is making a decent statement about the need for some moderates on the right to see the BIG issues behind BBV - not just the single-instance issue of this election - and not be written off as "the enemy."

I suggest you read Chuck Herrin's Hack The Vote website - another good example of someone on the right whom we should not alienate - I thought his voice was particualrly compelling, and was one I could offer my friends and acquaintances who are Pubs without instant rejection.

Her statement is valid. I am not weighing in on the totality of her work and postings, but you harp on this one like she had joined the dark side or something - and I think you know what she is really saying here.

In all honesty, I think you are being antagonistic - gloating even. We all know you had a spat with Bev, and you happily played a large part in the flame wars that led to her banning. Again, I'm not defending her, nor condeming you... just pointing out that you are hardly the paragon of impartiality on this topic, and I think that is leading you to make some eroneous assumptions - and to offer those to others (some of whom have made clear they have not followed this story) as if you are some sideline viewer, which you clearly have not been.

She's gone, you're still here, blah blah whatever.. stop gloating, stop being so high-and-mighty, and for Pete's sake don't let it lead you to such ridiculous (even freeper-esque) knee-jerk arguments as this one.
