Reply #60: And don't you think that her "personality disorder"

[WildEyedLiberal]

... might be more of a hinderance for the BBV issue, since it causes rational people to take her much less seriously? Most people don't support or believe the claims of someone with a personal history of outrageous, borderline behavior. If you don't feel her personal behavior at all impacts her work on BBV or the public's perception of her (and BBV, for that matter), then I have a bridge to sell you.

Also, since you're so concerned about getting the issue out in the open, as opposed to defending Bev, it might interest you that she TURNED DOWN an offer by Penguin, a major publishing house, because of a stupid and petty personal dispute with her then-editor.

That's right. Because of Bev's personality issues - considered irrelevant by you - the book on Black Box Voting is obscure and available only as a free PDF download. Had Bev swallowed her ego and not let her personal problems interfere with the "cause," Black Box Voting could be in every Barnes and Noble and Borders in the NATION.

Now, if that isn't hurting our cause, I don't know what is. To claim that her personality problems have nothing to do with the professional perception of BBV and her work with BBV is naive at best.
