I don't appreciate it, and neither does our host, who has had to weigh into this thread a few weeks ago and school some of you on your attacking other Freepers and generally acting like you own the place. You do not.
Here is some advice: My post is one of about 1,000 on each thread, on average. If you don't like it, skip over it.
The reason I repost it is that it is a moving score card, it is formatted the same, but the score changes as events proceed. If you did bother to read the most recent one you would see that it has about a page of compeletely new commentary, with a half a dozen links in it.
It's not merely a snide insult to anyone, it's not telling anyone what to do.
There are a number of people who have critiqued my metric, and I have responded to them with my reasons for doing what I do, and in some cases made changes.
I usually just skip personal insults like yours, but it seems like a few of you guys are working as a team to attack people you disagree with and force us out of the threads.
It's not going to work with me.
By the way, it's not like everyone agrees with you. I have received a lot of positive feedback on my efforts, much of it on PM. Why PM? Because you are creating an ugly environment of intimidation on these threads.
Please, just stop it. Stop the name calling. Stop the intimidation. Stop telling people to "stifle", "give it a rest" and stop posting their views on these threads.
Instead how about creating something of value for the rest of us, as I am sincerely trying to.
I’m a lurker who will support you publicly. You are listening to constructive criticism and you explain your positions and why you currently hold them. You know that Trump is behind but your scorecard looks forward to the day when he is ahead. You hope it’s a way to track his progress toward eventual success. When someone disagrees with how you set it up, you always politely listen.
If someone strongly disagrees with your methodology, I’m sure you’d support them making their own version and you could watch both versions over time. With no one needing to gloat if one turns out more accurately than another. It’s just two attempts to do the same thing.
I don’t think you’re trying to bring the morale of the group down. You just feel a need to understand with numbers. Everyone approaches understanding differently. Your scorecard will look better when more indictments come down.
The effort to quantify events in a rational way is very useful to present "the world as it is," versus "the world that we wish is was" (at this point in time).
I have no doubt that everyone will be extremely happy when you publish your table updates that show "Team Trump" far in the lead!! Until then, there is nothing wrong with posting a dose of reality in a world that has too much (understandable, for sure) "hopium" in it.
Go post a positive Q post on any other thread on FR and see what happens. Insults and ad hominem you say?
Your whining is noted, Jack.

well, what the heck. With no drops the thread is painfully slow anyway. Let there be chaos. Nevertheless, you still haven’t fixed the misspelling of the President’s name. Why?
Especially when the factual holes in your propaganda have been pointed out to you directly.
You are clearly not on the Q team. I don’t care, post your crap. I scroll past it. Waste of time.
