Never said I was. I have repeatedly stated I don't like this system; I'd prefer no silence rules, deferred rush, no
requirement to visit all houses, particularly in a compressed time frame, and no bid-matching. I'd allow a woman to receive as many bids as she can, and then make the choice.
I understand how - and why - it works as it does, but I don't have to like it, nor think it's the best system. I
believe there are thousands of others who agree with me, yes, but it doesn't take a CMU grad to understand I'm in the minority. It no more makes me and those others (whether 1 or 1000 or 10000 or whatever - that was obviously a figure of speech) right than it makes the current system right.
And I'm obviously no more likely to convince a proponent of the big rush systems than someone is to convince me every house has to rush the same.
