My own assessment of giving Stockman Scott more posts is that most of the active, articulate posters on the thread are conservative, so FL was hoping to achieve some kind of balance. I think it was a mistake, and I am glad that he reversed himself.

I don't read Stockman Scott, and really agree with the poster who said that he wished he could just put Stockman Scott's cut-and-pastes on Ignore, because he likes to read what he says. I agree with that conclusion, but dealt with the dichotomy the other way.

I also would be more likely to read Scott's post if i knew that there will only be one or two of them and that he has actually read them and believes that they are better than the typical left-wing rants.

He would probably be more successful in changing someone mind if he limited himself to the two best articles rather than two good articles and eight more raving rants.

The fact that scott was even considered for exemption demonstrates the double standard (albeit subtle one) exercised here

The fact that you have posted this illustrates to me how little you really understand.
