Lektor if you really want to troll the tools just disqualify AOC from the rest of the competition. You can obviously just make up any reason you want.

Now I'm split on whether this solution or the jman220 solution is better.

We need a superdelegate whose vote will count for more. I recommend whatever the delta is between AOC and generic woman x.

What about a literacy test like the good old days of the old South. Or some more 2+2 specific

Where does the brown trout sleep?

How many tackles for loses?

AQs or JJ?

What age of child is best for arena fighting?

How much should a boiling oat runner expect to make a year?

1 55 36 2 84 5
552 67 4 9
101 2 2
...?

Knife or bat?

Or the classic: Gorilla vs 12 Powerlifters. Anyone who voted Powerlifters should be DQ'd.

Calling that “voter suppression” is a ballistic overreach. Answering the question in a different way, I think Lektor’s approach to defining a reasonable group of voters for Ms. OOT is generally reasonable, given the amount of effort he has put into running this low-stakes, totally inconsequential contest.

I think your continuous protests of Lektor’s conduct are amusing. I don’t think Lektor is either incompetent or evil.

A 3/5 compromise in an Internet forum in which the stakes are inconsequential and being in or outside of the 3/5ths is within each person’s control is totally fine. Politics posters aren’t a protected classification.

Analogizing this to broader historical issues is ballistic and dumb.

HT putting "inconsequential contest" and "protected classification" in back-to-back posts is elite.

I don't know what is going on in here with all the maths (as the English would say), but Rachel Riley would solve any equation no problem.

Then I assume you voted for the American candidate in this match-up, did you?

1/G*1/(1000*H+1)*(A/E+B/F)/(1/100+C/E+D/F)

What about content of such posts in ATF being vastly non-political and about procedural issues instead? Can we factor that in - somewhere to the tune of 90%.

That's not at all what I said. I said he has the right to do whatever he wants, and I have the right to mock him for it. That post is me mocking his thin veneer of fairness when really his motivation was nothing of the sort.

Your claim that you know Lektor’s actual motivations is an absurd joke. The only person that can know those is Lektor, and I think as a practical matter it is difficult for anyone (including Lektor, who is no exception to the general idea here) to know their own motivations with anything close to complete accuracy.

Your mode of argumentation in this regard is foolish and juvenile.

You are assuming wookie's motivation here, HT. Maybe his mode of argument is intended to add an aspect of an underrepresented POV for consideration of the whole and does not represent the entirety of his view on the subject.

I am not assuming a damn thing about Wookie’s motivation. I don’t know a damn thing about Wookie’s motivation, nor do I care what it is. I am merely addressing Wookie’s literal claim that he knows Lektor’s motivation, which is a claim that cannot be true.

Wookie may of course be hiding other information or otherwise dissembling, as your post suggests. But I for one take Wookie at his word.
