3. A tendency to childlishy mock and insult anyone with an opposing view, even if that person turns out correct. He has seemed to drop the second grade insults a la "jFRAUD" though.

I find J.J. does this much less than other people.

Nobody is perfect. I really believe his heart is in the right place, and he is pleasant to people, even in the face of being harshly calumnized himself. How many of us can say that about ourselves?

Actually, I don't think J.J. is stupid. He seems to be indeed an intelligent man, but politics is not his strong suit and he's yet to realize that.

Reading comprehension and arithmetic obviously aren't his strong suits either.

I'm still hoping he's just trolling us. I'm probably naive.

Remember, per J. J. mathematics if a sample of 90 Democrats and 10 Republicans increases to 200 Democrats and 50 Republicans, the new addition to the sample had more Republicans in it.

How is that wrong? There are more Republicans both in absolute and relative terms.

Doesn't always say things that I agree with, but reacts in a surprisingly calm way to the numerous and - in my perception - overly harsh and unnecessarily personal attacks by other posters.

More Republicans than Democrats. Of course anyone who can do basic arithmetic can see that it's possible for one group's percentage in a sample to decrease while the group's majority in absolute terms to increase. If you compare (200-90) to (50-10) you can clearly see that's not the case.

For context, see the exchange with Lief here: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=157569.450

It's pretty obvious that the guy is either: 1-Trolling or 2-Lacks some basic mathematical skills.

He behaves in a unique way because of who he is and how he views the world, not because he's trolling or trying to pick fights, and if you find his behavior impossible to deal with, put him on ignore. He drives me nuts some times but I can't call him an HP for that. God knows I drive people nuts for the same reasons some times.

But you are capable of doing math so it's not a fair comparison.

Yes, you drive me nuts Brittain33, because despite my best efforts, and years of professional practice at it, I can't persuade you of squat. What do you think that does to my huge ego?  Tongue

Generally this is my view of JJ, but of late he's gotten a bit... tetchy?

Oh that is a grand word that I did not know, and seems just so apropos to boot. Thanks for sharing!

A good friend, good person (though he'll be mad at me for calling him that), and the most stubborn hard-headed person I've ever met.

True. But still undeniably obstinate--even obtuse at times.

And that's by forum standards.
