There is no "fairness" to any of this. Abbott and his courtiers are f;at out cheating and these nervous ladies are apparently blind to that fact. The only way to counter a cheater or anyone who wants something at your expense is to let him know that you know what's going on as you tilt things the other way so that his efforts are wasted. Then you let him know he can be hurt, too. That last part usually takes care of him. That's how it's worked for me, anyway.
Perhaps maundering about fairness has its place in normal times, but these times are not normal. Until they are, the LWV has just declared itself irrelevant and I find that very sad.
