Reply #93: Brad, this can't be taken seriously

[OnTheOtherHand]

Granted, people who trust you in all things may give it credence. But it takes about 20 seconds for anyone who cares to find my name. (In this case, less, since as I already pointed out, I've linked to one of my papers in this thread. Doh.) I figure that's the difference between a steady stream of crap from people who come across my posts and decide I'm the Dark Lord, and people who are willing to work for it a bit.

Brad, you tell me: how much of a career and personal stake do I have in this issue? Do I go around the country giving speeches about this? Do I sell books about it? Do I have a "Donate" button on my web site? Or would that be other people? You are totally off the wall here. You have no clue how much work I've given away in the hope that election integrity activists might actually care about facts. Many do.

There's no secret about who I am; there's no secret about what I do. But if you keep asking loaded questions as if there were, I'm sure you get some people to assume otherwise. It's an interesting use of your time.

(On edit: it's not fair to treat Brad as representative of election integrity activists)

(On further edit: As a reminder to all, just because some armchair critics like to pretend that I spend all my time arguing against any and all evidence of election fraud doesn't mean that it is remotely close to the truth. I do spend some time cautioning people about specific arguments that don't hold water. I'm open to reasoned dialogue on those issues, but unfortunately, a lot of people aren't. If people like Brad spent less time making stuff up about me and more time marshaling facts, we could get farther.)
