re: #329 Aceofwhat?

I did not dismiss it. I said that the long-term trends do not favor the Reconstructionists. There is no established long-term data to contradict me, as far as i know. If you have some, be my guest..

No, long-term trends don’t favor them. I’m really unsure what the import of that is, though.

You haven’t seen me here dismissing the recent crazy episodes, and i’m not starting now

Well, saying that short term trends aren’t a cause for alarm is rather dismissive. You may not be dismissing their craziness, but saying they’re not a cause for alarm seems rather blas.
