As I said before: appeals to your own authority are poor persuasive tools. Also, they're inherently fallacious.

I am not saying just trust me. I am saying read the bill, look at my record on this site. Make your own damn choice on the matter, but don't argue a point when you have not read the subject matter we are talking about.

It's like arguing about what two movies were better with someone who has not seen either movies.

Read the bill, and then come back and debate it.

Mafoo, I'm not actually arguing about the bill. All I said was that I won't take your word for it. There's a difference.

And yes, every time you bring up your "track record" you are making an appeal to your own authority, which is fallacious - the truth of this prediction doesn't have any intrinsic ties to the truth of previous predictions re: how screwed are we now.
