As for my suggesting that a subject has been beaten into the ground after BTD himself has already admitted that Burris is a done deal is just confirming what he has already said himself. And it echoes what many other posters here have already said themselves. It's done. Over. Move on.

I've read some silly stuff on blogs before but this one ranks right up there. If you think about what you wrote even you would agree with that.

Even now you do not acknowledge your errors - clearly you were trying to compare the Gallup results to this poll - even though the respondent pool was different.

And even when doing that, you ignored the actual findings - which are in line between the polls.

Many persons here have commented disagreeing with my analysis, both on the law and the politics. But most have tried to argue the points honestly and fairly. In my view, you have not.

And this is not the only issue.

I want my threads to be an oasis for honest intelligent discussion.

Some commenters are known not to do that and most folks in the threads have learned to ingore those who do not do that.

You have a lot capital to expend due to your long history of good commenting, both here and at daily kos. you have abandoned your prior approach for months now, in my view.

You now state quite openly that you think I have no credibility. Given that, I see no reason for you to participate in my threads.

I have always been strict in my threads. I will continue to be. The last few months, your commenting has simply not been fair, honest or intelligent in my view. I am not happy to have you commenting in my threads at this time. It is with great regret that I judge the downward trajectory of your participation here, at least in my threads. It gives me no pleasure, but I am calling it as I see it. And acting in a way that I think promotes good, honest intelligent discourse in my threads.
