Andrew Eisen: BearDogg-X - Not sure what your point about Atkinson having only 8500 votes is, seeing as that's around 65% (of the total votes counted at the time).

Andrew Eisen: However, if Atkinson continues with the recent threats, insults, and otherwise nigh JT-level absurd behavior, it will probably be a lot closer the next time around.
