Gamnit. And here I was with the complex insults, and you come through with the tried and true....teach me

Since ceo esq doesn't like kitties, maybe he's a mouse fan?

But you're going to do it anyways and ignore posts that are on topic.

I'm not sure what you mean by "it".



delphi_ote said:
I can't believe you called my post "sophomoric." Do you count the number of swear words in movies, too? You actually wasted the time search the number of times someone called someone else an idiot?

Ordinarily, this is the last thing I could have imagined doing (though it only took a few moments), but fowlsound was so very insistent that I specifically produce something resembling this kind of evidence that, against my better judgment, I indulged him.

Hence, these are only impressions, albeit reasonable ones.

Here, I fixed your post to the relevant statement. You don't know me, have never met me, and cannot by any stretch of the imagination know any of my motives. Since you ahve in the past mistaken humor for rudeness, I can only assume that your assertions are your own unfounded bias.


ceo_esq said:
Where? And, how so?

Scroll up.


ceo_esq said:
That's a cute diversion - blame the person who raises an objection. Not too relevant to the guidelines in this case, though, I think.

Not a diversion at all. You are quite simply looking down your nose and nitpicking other people's behavior. Your mother should have explained this is rude while you were growing up.

This almost, but not quite, makes sense.

Think hard.


ceo_esq said:
I'm sorry if you find rude my reminding you of how we have all already agreed to act, but as rudeness goes, I think it doesn't begin to compare with your penchant for invective.

More opinions. What is most amusing here is your need to get in the last word has not only derailed this thread as much as kittens and recipies (to which you object) and has also treaded into your problems with other's civility. Oh the irony.


ceo_esq said:
No, my statement was that I had the impression that you did. I was referring to how often you use such expressions in absolute terms, not as a percentage of how many posts you've made. It should be fairly clear, to anyone without a vested interest in denying it, that it there is some reasonable basis for that impression.

Shifting the goalposts. here are your words:

I have the impression that you direct terms like "idiot", "moron", and "jerk" at other people here significantly more often than the average poster does.

Now, I am sure you are smart enough to know your assertion there not only requires you to provide evidence not only of useage, but useage of that word by the average poster. You determined the timeframe of two weeks. That's shifting from the original statement, but ok, I'll go with that. You were not "referring to how often you use such expressions in absolute terms, not as a percentage of how many posts you've made." You specifically said I use them more than the average poster. You have yet to provide this evidence. On top of that, statistically that means nothing considering my volume of posts. Please provide where statistically I use that more than the average poster adjusting for volume. Your assertion is that I am rude more often than other posters. My response is that I am statistically posting no more insulting posts than the average poster. That my posts are numerous only skew your interpretation of how often you see something you think is insulting.

ceo_esq said:
I searched for all posts containing the pertinent terms over the past two weeks, sorted them by poster name, and examined the posts by those posters appearing most frequently in the list in order to ascertain the context.
Click to expand...

Interesting we've moved from the average poster to those that appear most frequently. Your evidence again is lacking. Goalposts shifting...


ceo_esq said:
Would that it were so. Barring a problem with the forum search software, the evidence is strong that over the past two weeks, as of the time I searched, the number of times you called another poster an idiot or a moron was greater than the number of times any other poster (much less the average poster) did so. Make of that dubious distinction what you will.
Click to expand...

Bolding mine. You did not provide that evidence, and your admitted research technique was rather flawed, as I have pointed out. Please provide the number of times ANY other poster (much less the average) uses those terms. You have defined three different paramaters, and they change with each post of yours. More goalpost shifting.

Now, either provide the evidence that I use those terms more than the average poster, or withdraw the statement and acknowledge your whole problem here is your impression and bias, not a forum rules violation (to which you hinted I violated twice now.)

In the future, I would suggest rather than act like the pedantic jerk you have here, you simply report the post to the mods and keep to yourself how you think the rest of us should act.




Edited to clarify.

Is it just me or does anyone else find some small amusement in the fact that an argument is raging over "meanings" and "interpretations" and "who said what" in a thread in the Religion forum entitled The Gospel?



Yeah, OK, so I've got a weird sense of humour!

I'm more amused that it is derailing that thread further.
 
ceo_esq said:
It was a revelatory slip, though - "derailing a troll" rather than "derailing a troll's thread"? One could be forgiven for suspecting that you actually believe that arbitrary thread derails, into completely unrelated areas, operate to punish trolls. In fact, they simply waste everyone else's time who cares to peruse the thread. People who don't care to see a thread pursued any further can vote with their feet, which certainly has no less deterrent effect on trolls than do recipes and kittens, and has the added benefit of not wasting anyone else's time.

Kitten posting is a time honored way of denouncing a poster as a troll without being beligerent. ceo, to you, I say =^.^=

The more we stray from the topic, the more we become the topic!

And yet, you know perfectly well that it's nothing close to evidence. Someone isn't living up to his own very high standards.

That's a good point. ceo_esq has yet to actually cite the times I called someone an idiot or moron, so at this point it is still his word.

So ceo:

Evidence?






(I owe CFLarson 5 bucks for the use of that word now. damnit.)

I shall nobly jump on this grenade. Fowl, quick, call me an idiot.

And of course give an analysis of which ones meet the "insult" criteria, do the same for all the other posters and present links to their use of the words, compare your use to the others' use, measure the statistical significance of the difference (after finding and verifying the correct distribution of insult use of course), and then plot them all using SAS, Matlab, or Excel.
