Reply #81: wish I could see the faces on Latin Dept folks

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

First of all, I have no "dream voting system", I don't think one exists.
But since HCPB is a non starter at this time, I have pushed for optical scan
and the automark, with audits - in my state. (other disabled accessible systems fine, as long as not DRES) -

What systems are in your state? Are they your "dream system"?

Second, my pet peeve is folks who put out sensationalistic but
inaccurate "articles" that end up discrediting the election reform community.

You said:

1) You claimed about that the Latin that was posted:

"it was just filler which reminded me of many poster's OP's that
made just about that much sense."

:shrug:

See this link: http://websitetips.com/articles/copy/lorem/
Now, look at the box in the middle of the webpage,(linked below).
I cut and pasted from that box for "filler" for my spoof.
And by the way OnTheOtherHand, it does contain "zzrl".

You said

So, you are attacking Land Shark again? (for that is who the reply was to).

The very one you asked (a few weeks back) how many cases he had won? (while he was engaged, on behalf of ER, in the CA-50 case) And, in doing so, taunting him (or bragging) about your victories gained with the help of EFF?

Do you really feel so superior as to refer to Land Shark's post as "filler" ??

:eyes:

In some ways, I actually like Land Shark. I do think he is windy, but probably many think
I am "windy" too.
That post is a "spoof" that I felt was much needed in the middle of some long drawn out, difficult to read posts.
Its subjective to the individual as to where it is most deserved.
Now if you think it applies to Mr. Land Shark, that is your own thing.

And, you are saying Land Shark's post is sensless? (If so, I really suggest all who view this to thread to read Land Shark's comment for themselves). And you think the same of "many other posters" are? ("reminded me of many poster's OP's that made just about that much sense.)

I didn't say that. Are YOU saying Land Shark's post is senseless?

I would tend, normally, to ask if you weren't being judgemental. In this case, I think I have to inquire if you are not being "judge and jury mental"?

Nothing valid to say? Just hurling insults? :puke:

The latin came from a website that had those generic website templates that are in latin",

I'd challenge you to produce any "website" that has produced such "generic website templates".

Though you may have stuffed in "2004" and "voting machines", whomever wrote the rest of it has included many spelling and syntax errors, but has an extensive knowledge of the language. (If that came off any "generic website templates", there should not have been those uncorrected errors and other misspellings)

Also, I doubt that any "generic website templates" come loaded with snide remarks about other people, particularly in reference to "elections" (as they were not staple of Imperial Rome). Yet those remarks were in there.

I cannot believe what I read is anything other than a "made to order" diatribe, written in Latin. (But please prove me wrong, if I am, by posting the site where one and all can go see the originals).

See this website where I got the latin text http://websitetips.com/articles/copy/lorem/

I might choose to translate some of it here today, at DU, but have chosen instead to have it translated by the head of the Latin department at the University of Missouri. With luck, it will be ready for me to pick up tomorrow.

Hilarious!!! :rofl: I wish I could see the look on their faces!!!

I hope your story is true (the current URL would be proof).

But, if it is not, you will have a lot of 'splainin' to do, before anyone could ever take your word on anything again.

You mean like how people felt after believing the Scoop article, maybe even forwarding it around, and then finding out that it was grossly inaccurate.
