115. You need to prove *you* aren't crying wolf!
Joyce, your entire thread is directed at Michael Collins. He is working from "official figures" from Mecklenburg. You are working from gossip, hearsay, and a chorus of "Yeah, that's right!"s.

The burden of proof is on you to prove Michael Collins is wrong. You have not done so.

The point of this thread - is to correct grossly inaccurate
information that was making its way around the internet.


Then do so properly. Prove him wrong or keep quiet until you can.

- Its not to argue with someone as to where the Latin script came from! (Distraction)

You posted the Latin (in response to an "expert witness" for Michael). Was it to keep the poster from being heard?

You (or your posse) have made various claims about the Latin. A "Fucking Joke!"; a post to show Land Shark nonsensical (at least you can't refute that. The words were yours); that the posts were long and we all needed a break; ad infinitum (sooooo sorry to use Latin again).

But, YOU posted it! Now its my fault? I don't think so.

Using inaccurate info (from Scoop article)could discredit other election integrity advocates.

And your over-the-top histrionics about the issue could also discredit us all, just as your super defense of any fault being found in NC could (particularly when you can't prove Michael is not correct. His figures are official. Yours are nothing but hearsay).

- The point is to clear up the inaccuracies.

Then DO it! As it stands, Michael's figures are correct as shown by the official records of Mecklenburg County. So debunk him if you can. Just stop the unsubstantiated blather.

All this other crap on this thread is just a big huge distraction.

I will agree that the OP you made has been a huge distraction to all at ERD. You should ask a mod to spike it, and it would do the whole ERD much good, IMHO.

Circular arguments and comments leading away from the topic are a waste of time.(Distraction)

I agree. So why won't you stop it?

The fact is, "crying wolf" with inaccurate information does no good for ER.

I agree. So why don't you stop it until you can actually see a wolf. IOW, rebut his case using the figures that Mecklenburg shows, and that he used.

But puh-leeze stop the groundless complaining about "inaccurate information" until you can provide some accurate, and substantiated (from official sources), information of your own.
