Hi good evening.

Hey, did you hear Graham dropped out?

LOL

I didn’t know. Four people notified me this evening.

[Windflier]

I was one of those four!

LOL

[ziravan]

I guess the 50 odd threads with 300 posts today tired everybody out...

[DoughtyOne]

Oh, so you’re the one of the four huh...?

LOL

[DoughtyOne]

Perhaps I shouldn’t post my graphic here then...

LOL

[Windflier]

Man, today was a real doozy. There’s been so much flak flying that I could only make it through a about a half dozen posts on each thread before I had to bail.

Still like those links...

[GeronL]

I just saw this thread.

Do they post the results of these caucus threads somewhere?

[Vision Thing]

Check out the links in reply 8.

[GeronL]

This seems ridiculous and pointless after the purge.

[Vision Thing]

Many are reinstated, but I’m unsure if they even voted here before they were temporarily banned.

The results reflect those who cared enough to vote, just like any other election or caucus.

[Yaelle]

What purge?

[Pollster1]

I like the new format. The faded results for inactive candidates is a nice touch.

BTW, did you hear that Lindsey Graham . . .

[Windflier]

Purge? You mean the little slaps on the wrist some of the disruptor trolls got?

Yeah, it was just awwwwful!

[outofsalt]

Total waste of bandwidth. I’ve ignored this since day two.

The fact that you commented on this thread refutes your statement.
