chrysostom’s 2015 annual awards

[chrysostom]

as a former professional statistician (educated, trained and paid to do the job), i'm always amused by the attempts of the untrained to manipulate numbers and claim they mean one thing or another

some of them are even dishonest

I thought we were having fun here?

 

[bybee]

i see you've been taking lessons from the board weasel :thumb:

Who would that be?

 

[chrysostom]

And Chrys wins the
"Sophist" of the year award!
(You notice that I am heeding your criticism of me and not copying the whole post?)

you continue to ignore the rules
only discuss the current award
the meanest of the year
consider this a warning

Thank you for the warning. I shall be more careful in future.

what makes you think that is the purpose of these awards?

I think I have made it perfectly clear
that
my job is to expose those who are testing the limits of our ability to tolerate unusual behavior

 

[Totton Linnet]

An announcement is imminent.....

 

[chrysostom]

I think town is worried about my numbers

 

[Town Heretic]

town is doing his best to discredit my awards thread
he was using misleading numbers

Neither is true, but both are so like you.

I had to fire him

You can't. I'm in a union. :reals:

this should not be construed in any way
that
I am encouraging you

:mock: Pilate.

That's how the terrorists win. :noid:

What fake award are we up to anyway? Well, we know it isn't a mod award at any rate.

Meanest? Psalmist. lain:

last call for nominations and discussion

Discussion: Totton is not mean. She is pragmatically honest. That is not mean.

 

[chrysostom]

Discussion: Totton is not mean. She is pragmatically honest. That is not mean.

does that mean all the others are?

 

[Rusha]

Discussion: Totton is not mean. She is pragmatically honest. That is not mean.

Agreed. Meanest should be someone who is mean *most* of the time and seldom shows any kindness towards others. A portion of those people do not fit into that category.

all you have to do is suggest who is the meanest

 

[Rusha]

I would take off Totton Linnet, musterion, glorydaz, and Angel4Truth. Also, why have you not added Res/Koban/SOD, ACW and Eeset?

they don't give me neg reps like town does

 

[bybee]

does that mean all the others are?

No

 

[chrysostom]

No

maybe now you can appreciate how difficult my job is

compared to this
being a moderator is a piece of cake

we have 14 guests who do not want to be seen here

how can we make this more respectable?

 

[Rusha]

they don't give me neg reps like town does

That is something personal between the two of you. Also, Town isn't on your list (nor would he belong there).
