PervPool Works - Even When It Makes Us Sad

 A couple weeks ago I wrote this:

It's a mix of OPS (Original Perv Score) and the Utility Principle, i.e. the greatest good for the greatest number. I give Al Franken a OPS of -2 (such scores must be expressed as negatives) and a UP of +7. So, no Al, don't quit. Though if other, more serious, incidents emerge.... We are all afloat on the winds of history.

And sometimes we sink on those same winds. More women are coming forward, and Franken's popularity in Minnesota sinks. He's moving from plus to minus territory. If he is no longer an effective advocate for liberal causes - specifically the exposure and punishment and ultimate cessation of sexual harassment - then his 'past goods' are no longer enough to merit support.

You create a metric you got to stick with it.
