Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

Ranking of polls for 2025

The last time I posted Nate Silver's poll ranking (Aug 2024), NYT/ Siena was ranked 1st. Now Silver ranks it 5th (https://www.natesilver.net/p/pollster-ratings-silver-bulletin). AtlasIntel, which was 21st, is ranked 1st, or at least at the top of the list. The first 4 of 27 pages of ranking is shown below.

What a crazy-go-nuts world. 🤪
