Reply #95: Response to autorank, post # 85

[Time for change]

First, I don't understand why you are responding to my post. You've blocked me from responding to any of your posts or threads, so that makes it a little difficult to have a conversation with you about this. My question wasn't addressed to you, it was addressed to WillYourVoteBCounted, who hasn't blocked me from responding to her. And, your post (reply to my post) mainly has to do with your decision to proceed with your thread announcing the fraud in NC-8 despite being warned that your analysis was based on inaccurate data -- but I wasn't the one who said you were warned about that -- that was WillYourVoteBCounted (though you've blocked her from responding to you also).

But since you have responded to my post, I do have some questions/comments for you:

1) Why have you blocked me from responding to any of your posts or threads?

2) You said in your OP on the NC-8 race "If the paper trail receipts are available and examined, they represent a smoking gun that validates the Florida case." Were you aware when you posted that that a hand recount had been begun for the race, and that Kissell conceded based on the results of that recount? I ask that because I had the distinct impression from reading your post that no recount had been conducted at all. I tried to ask you about that on your post, but I was blocked.

3) I agree with you that the BOEs in North Carolina appear to be at fault for posting inaccurate information on their web site. But at the same time, I don't believe that it serves any purpose for our cause to post an article on DU (and one that became very well publicized) that is totally wrong, regardless of whose fault it is that the data is inaccurate. If they post inaccurate data on their website, and you are aware of that, then that would have been an appropriate subject for your article. But when you post an analysis that makes very important claims based on incorrect data, or one based on data that you have good reason to believe is incorrect, that makes us all look bad and just gives ammunition to those who would try to paint us all as a bunch of "conspiracy theorists".

4) Everyone makes mistakes. One of the purposes of discussing these things on a discussion board is to give people the opportunity to identify flaws and point them out, so that we all have the opportunity to have access to better information. By blocking the responses of anyone who might question your analysis, you prevent us all from getting to see the full picture.
