Well, MH > DW either way, and the voters agree with me.

the point that this thread convincingly makes is that voters are stupid. having you agree with them (or vice versa) is a strike against you.

no maybe it means that some people agree with the criteria that the voters use -- doesnt make them or us stupid just because we disagree with you

1) you don't know what i think about MH vs DW, or about NL MVP in general, so why do you assume that you disagree with me?
2) conlin's writings in particular prove that he is a village idiot (and not just because he voted rollins), so let's not use "well, he agrees with me" as an argument. it doesn't make you necessarily stupid, but it's can be a strike against you.
3) it seems to me that it's inconsistent at best, if you criticize the criteria in one vote, but support it in the other. not you personally, but there are plenty MVP threads that talk about someone getting robbed because the voters have sucky criteria. let's not rejoice if the faulty criteria correctly ranks MH over DW (or vice versa) once.
