I think Palmer is a paid operative for Obama or the DNC. A paid operative would need to discredit Polarik as quickly as possible

At worst I am an attention-seeker. At best I am helping you put aside Polarik and demand some quality analysis.

“At worst I am an attention-seeker.”

You just gave yourself away.

Sincerity never suggests it might be frivolity in disguise.

Or you could be a paid operative...

As far as your desire to “demand some quality analysis”, go ahead and match what Polarik has done. There’s nothing to stop you.

If it is at your best that we put aside Polarik, then your burden of proof is pretty high because his contributions have been very valuable. So far, your contributions on this issue have been, as you admit, attention-seeking.
