Pat Moore R had no primary opposition in Jefferson County for a Circuit Court Judge position. Her D opponent? Mike Graffeo-He had a brutal 3 way primary AND a hotly contested run-off.

Result? Graffeo trounced Moore in November–(Jefferson County too)

so much for the theory in post 14

I understand your desire to deflect attention away from your attempts to manipulate the discussion and your own blatant prevarications. However…

You tried to put words in my mouth that simply were not true, and you are doing it again when you write, “You do not like it because it was finally exposed on this blog what happened before the primaries in the Jefferson County probate race last year.”

I have never indicated in any form or fashion that I want to hide the truth of this or any other matter. More information is good.

In fact, because I want to get to the bottom of the story, I have asked you more than once (for example, here and here) for evidence or corroboration for your story so that I could have more than the insistence of an anonymous commenter, but you have never provided it. I have asked you directly for names of people that I could talk to that would support things you have said, but you never responded. All you have done is post multiple comments under multiple names. That’s not evidence, and it hurts your credibility.

I have shown desire and initiative to get to the bottom of this story, and you have not been helpful. You are mistaken (again) to say that I don’t want the truth “exposed.” I have demonstrated otherwise.

Let me be clear. I have zero interest in censoring you or anyone else, but if you continue to use multiple names to post comments on this topic, then I will address that. (That does not necessarily mean your comments will be blocked.)

As for your other comments to me…

It appears you know more about this than you will ever let your readers know.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

In order to divert readers from the subject…

I have no interest in diverting readers from the subject. I do feel like readers are entitled to an honest discussion without someone posting comments under multiple names.

…you feel the need to, what you call embarrass…

I thought perhaps you might be embarrassed to be called out for pretending to be more than one person in the conversation. Perhaps that is not your nature.

[you] then suggest the topic is uninteresting to warrant any discussion.

I never said that. I never suggested the topic was uninteresting and never tried to discourage further discussion.

You then go on to say other comments on the topic will be censored.

I never said that. I never said I would censor further comments.

According to you though, the first sentence in post #11 validates other comments on this subject.

I never said that. You are mistaken to attribute that to me.

Of course, this is your blog and you can do what you wish.

I believe this to be the only sentence in your entire comment that made sense.

I also believe that readers may question whether your complete misunderstanding (or misrepresentation) of what I said in my comment calls into question your own critical thinking on other issues.

Regardless, let me be clear. If you continue to use multiple names to post comments on this topic, I will address that.

I frown on commenters using different personas to have conversations with themselves in an attempt to make it appear that more people have interest in a topic or perspective than actually do. Had you left a valid email address, I would have sent this warning to you privately in email instead of embarrassing you in the comments section.

I didn’t say anything when you did this before by using an anonymous question to prompt yourself to explain this same issue further. However, now you are on the verge of having further comments go through moderation before they appear here.
