This sounds reasonable, but says very little. One can bash Republicans on the 99.857% of FR threads other than the ones you carved out and still meet this standard.

Yeah, that's the beauty of staying on topic.

But by all means, go ahead and weed through my thousands of posts, and let's see how close to 99% bashing you really get. I'm just guessing, but I'd say it's closer to 60% bashing, maybe 70%.

You see, those are the threads that interest me. Pom Poms are for others, and I generally bypass the cheerleading threads.

Thanks, but I'll leave those calculations to the (ahem) sabermetricians. (Does Bill James pay you royalties?)

My 99.857% figure was not an estimate of your slugging percentage, but of the percentage of FR threads excluded by your test. The impersonal pronoun was also used for that reason. My point was that the test you proposed to measure your criticism percentage was not only a cherry-pick, but excluded 99% of the orchard.
