No -blam!- -blam!- the Ben and Ken one, I'm talking about the 3 that went off without a hitch and had no problems occur.You don't get to talk about all the space shuttle launches that were off without a hitch, ignore the ones that did not, and say there's no danger. (Luckily with those there was no deliberate sabotage so we could continue with them.)
All 4 were polls, they have polls int he OP. That makes them polls. Do you know what a poll is?? I have a distinct feeling you don't. Way to ignore every point in that and latch onto the one thing you perceive that doesn't make sense... even though it does, haha. I'll reword it AGAIN since you seem to be unable to make the simple logical connections most people use in everyday life.
"Thirdly, even if all four were polls, that's not how statistics work."
Turns into (even though you're taking it out of context as well)...
"Thirdly, even though four of the twenty were polls, that's not how statistics work."
Yes he is.In the analogy, the 'Pitcher' would be Ken. One person. If it isn't, your analogy holds no ground. Which is what you already admitted one post ago. You're backtracking based on semantics.
The pitcher is being barred from playing. The whole community is being barred from Mail Sack polls and voting. Pitcher = Everyone.If the pitcher deliberately sabotaged it, then it would be 'everyone.'
And if you don't like the pitcher being 'everyone' then, then let's just say his pitching arm consists of the people that cheated.
Otherwise, like you already admitted a post ago that you're backtracking on, your analogy holds no weight. Can somebody else back me up here this is getting annoying.
My post to DeeJ was talking about his irrational fear of letting us vote for -blam!-, which is based on the Ken/Ben incident, which influences his idea that people would use Alts in a Moderator voting type deal (which isn't even what I'm talking about). My post referred to his unwillingness to let us vote for -blam!-, but it was related to everything else as well due to DeeJ's ideas relating it to everything else.Deej said you can't vote for mods because the polls can be corrupted. By letting only trusted individuals choose, the results aren't corrupted. No cheats. Important decisions can no longer be left to such things. Now that wouldn't necessarily be the case if by 'voting' it were changed to 'post in the thread with your vote and you account had to be Legendary or Mythic.' But since polls can be cheated, they cannot be relied on.
Then you said you weren't talking about the polls. In which case your post makes no sense.
Then you said you were talking about the polls. In which case your point two posts before that makes no sense.
Then you said you were talking about both. In which case you make no sense period.
