I would really, really appreciate it if you didn't put words in my mouth. I<br>
emphatically do not believe that, and in fact if you're going to continue<br>
to mischaracterize me like that, after I've previously asked you not to, I<br>
see no reason to continue to read your argument here.<br>

Translation: You don't have an answer to it.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Alright. That's it. You are the first human ever to go in my gmail killfile. I've specifically told you that I voted against Obama; you assume for me that I voted for him. I have on several occasions spoken about norms of debate, including not putting words in people's mouths; you politely agree, then repeat the behavior. I try to hold you to your earlier word; your reply starts with the word "translation:" and continues by trying to fill my mouth, not just with another straw man, but with an outright capitulation. You may still write me separately, but I will no longer be reading (or indeed seeing) anything from you to the election methods or election science lists. On a good day, you can be thoughtful, if never exactly openminded enough to give a stereoscopic argument. But I've had enough with the schoolyard taunts like the above.</div>
