"His posts are well-reasoned and cogent."

ummmmm...cogent? Some of them are famous for tortious, stilted phrasing with his own particular constructs ("are seen to be") substituting for clear, to-the point language.....to the point that parodies have been written.

well reasoned? I spent years studying 'reasoning', and there are many, many egregious errors and examples of "informal fallacies" present in many of his claims, assertions and examples.

In the last analysis, most of his issues are subjective opinions about how & whether the administration of the forum is 'fair' and/or open & consistent. It's ok to bring it up, I suppose, in certain contexts...but he has spent YEARS of incessant harping on it after being told that, despite his campaign, it will be run as Max chooses.

This 'tilting at windmills' has become a major distraction. This is NOT a matter of voting...and even if it were, he is quite outnumbered.

   I certainly admit that Roger has many useful talents and virtues, but his exercise of them has been quite lost in the proliferation of slippery, shifting complaints.

I would guess that technically, it is still not too late to give up the cause and just post about music, fun & life...but I don't think I will hold my breath, as I don't look good in blue.
