Presidential Challenge Thingy

#1 Post by themanintheseersuckersuit » Sat Apr 19, 2008 2:23 pm

I had a odometer moment today. 300,000 pts. since 12/27/03

that is all.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Excellent work. A good motivator for the rest of us.

My starting date is 12/15/03 and total points are 353146. I don't usually look at the total points when I log them in. It could take me awhile to get to 400,000.

And nobody is looking to trade you in.

This is a good day.

Congratulations!

I don't like how they've changed the scale of the bar chart for the Platinum Challenge, so that 300,000 still looks like less than the 160,000 it took to meet the Gold Challenge. That's just not right!
