I don't.

As I stated, their statistics are at the very least old and not very
credible either. But they're not mine so I have no need to defend
them.

LOL, that is so often the way to "win" an argument, isn't it.

Perhaps I should just be kicked off the list. Who knew that political
threads would wear out you seasoned Netizens?! I have to ask though:
do these political threads so tie up the list's servers that
non-political threads can't get through? If all of the political
threads were removed from the archives for the last several months,
how many threads are left that are on topic? How many lists have you
people been on that kept completely on topic and didn't die out
because of it? Finally, is there a yet unknown worm free in the wild
infecting computers and remapping the "Delete" key to "CTRL-R"?

In case I'm booted, and you are infected with this worm, re-address it
to me personally and save the list any further bloodshed.
