24. So you're not saying to run around like an asshole yelling FRAUD, FRAUD!!!
Because that's what you're doing. And anyone reasonable will look at you and roll their eyes. We have to frame our message so it doesn't turn off moderates. The best way to do that is to explain to them how the system is so open to fraud, instead of pointing fingers right away. The minute we point fingers, our message gets tuned out because they think we are "sore losers" or being partisan. But you can't seem to grasp the bigger picture, so I might as well be talking to myself.

I know you have feelings of resentment to me because I criticized you in another thread for running around yelling hyperbole that will get the story killed before it ever gets off the ground. And I know you're jealous that I'm coming up with a solution that is at least intended to work around the "tin-foil hat" reputation that we bloggers already have. That is a main obstacle if we want to seriously pursue this story and get it air play.

I hope you learn to lighten up. You are only impeding the progress of this issue by posting snide remarks in my thread. If you continue, I will be forced to alert the moderators. Get over whatever animosity you have toward me, and do something to help our cause.
