Dear narses,
I'd rather not serve as the semi-self-appointed arbiter between you and another poster.
I know that this thread is being monitored, since at least one comment by another poster was deleted. Therefore, it seems to me that in the judgment of the moderators, you have not given grave offense, as I don't see that any of your posts have been deleted.
From casual observation, I think the mods are right. I haven't examined your posts in detail, and don't plan to, but it seems you've been sticking pretty much to the subject at hand, if with an occasional bit of rhetorical flourish or hyperbole.
But heck, this IS a political discussion web forum. ;-)

I'll take the undeleted nature of my posts as a semi-validation then. Thanks for your enormous efforts here to use rational, empirical data to argue against the indefensible.
I'm glad that your math skills stand the test of public scrutiny. That alone shows something.
