you're free to explain how (and why) SE optimization isn't a bit of 
crookery or algorithmic deception - and, in fact, i'd strongly prefer that 
you do so on the list rather than taking it to private email.  [which 
actually makes you look, rhetorically, as if you don't have a set of valid 
defenses, rather than making you look more 'polite'.]

a number of folks on the list might find your explanation useful and 
instructive.
