:Thanks, but I decided that in the final analysis it still amounted to namecalling. Also I finally figured out how Aschlafly gets to that "6," and it is ''defensible.'' No point fussing about that part. The squishy part is how you get 2:1 from "33% conservative, '''40% moderate,''' 18% liberal." What's even squishier is how you get 1:3 out of the facts that at Wikipedia there has been a bit of a fad for "user boxes," little colored boxes that people can put on their page if they wish to advertise their personal tastes in food ("This user drinks coffee,") music ("This user is a fan of Green Day,") or politics ("This user is interested in conservative issues.") Of ''three million'' registered users, 78 decided to put a "Conservative" tag on their page and 202 put a "Liberal" tag on their page.

:I figure this is just one of the areas where Aschlafly has a bee in his bonnet. Or thinks its justified because it gets attention. Just not an area where it is productive to say anything more. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 18:55, 17 March 2007 (EDT)
