Josh Mitteldorf is someone I like very much, and surely not someone who seeks personal profit by writing this... this....

Sigh. At any rate, yup, anyone can post anything.

What I think is that lots of DUers recognize the, let's say, nuttiness and simply move on. And a fair number of DUers probably tend to associate "Election Reform" with "screwball post," which hardly seems helpful. I think there's a huge credibility gap right down the center of DU. Well, I don't know how huge, and see no way of telling for sure. That's an interesting little research q in itself.

ETA: I appreciate the kind words. I want to counsel some degree of patience, but hey, I've been here for two years, WTF do I know about what works? I can only say, always remember the lurkers. There's always the likelihood that if you just plain make more sense than the people flinging pots at your head, someone will notice.
