Cats have tails, Dogs have tails, therefore Cats are
Dogs.

or...

Henry Ford was a Nazi sympathizer, Henry Ford was an
American, therefore Americans are Nazi sympathizers.

or...

Ken Avidor is in Raucous Caucus, Ken Avidor is in
STRIDE, therefore STRIDErs are in Raucous Caucus.

Don't use Raucous Caucus to criticize STRIDE. If you
can't criticize STRIDE based on what they have said
and done, then maybe you shouldn't be criticizing them
at all. If you can criticize them on what they have
said and done, isn't that more to the point anyway?

(The parallels examples were made to highlight the
same logic flaw. It is not my intention to compare Ken
Avidor with Henry Ford or cats. He may not like Fords,
and for all I know, he's a dog person. There is also
no intention to compare Raucous Caucus with Nazi
sympathizers or having tails.)

I sure don't have any evidence to support this claim
as I am neither a member of STRIDE or Raucous Caucus,
but I'd be willing to bet a pint of Guinness at
Keegans or Kierans that there are more members of
STRIDE who have nothing to do with Raucous Caucus than
there are those who are involved with that web site.
I'd even put a second pint that it is under 25% that
are involved with Raucous Caucus (I'm actually
guessing less, but 25% is an easy number and enough to
establish a minority).

Incidently, since only one person has been singled out
with Raucous Caucus, I'd wonder if the term
"cowardscaucus" might not be in violation of list
rules.

Incidently, anyone who ever saw Ken Avidor's cartoon
Roadkill Bill in the Pulse and looked at the Raucous
Caucus web site and didn't put 1 and 1 together was
not being very perceptive. Never mind the simplicity
of a whois search.
