147. wow....
Is this how Democracy by Autorank works?..... when someone challenges your domain you shut them off?

Well, in the real world of election reform, one must deal with a myriad of different people with a diverse set of views. One must be able to effectively communicate with all of these different people, and they must do so respectfully and in a convincing manner. If one cannot do this, then their ideas are never listened to and they are never able to enter the table in an effort to improve things.

ESI has been able to enter the election arena time and time again, with people who may have extremely different views. But with time and patience and relentless energy, one is usually able to gain mind share. Only then can one begin to develop the trust necessary to begin to improve things. This sir, is how it works in the real world.

Perhaps you should just stay behind the comfort of your computer screen where you can safely throw darts at anyone you choose. And if those parties decide to defend themselves, you can just put up your shields.

Well, in this country people have made great sacrifices to create this form of government. In our case, the people of ESI have also made enormous sacrifices. They deserve respect and honest critique. You sir, have not given us this respect, and therefore deserve none in return.

Oh, by the way, Autorank has requested that we let you know that Autorank has placed us on ignore, therefore he cannot read our posts and therefore may not respond.
