LIES, DAMNED LIES, AND STATISTICS!
In Subject: WHY THE ENEMIES OF SOCIETY PERVERT THE LANGUAGE//Andr Jute
Message-ID: dated: Sun, 12 Oct 2003 13:00:05 +0200 (CEST) Andre Jute states, for the first time, and in the general case[1]: : I last contributed to RAT in December, eleven months ago. : In the meantime there have been about 280 messages mentioning my : name in 59 separate threads. Where do you get your figures from? Source? Cites, please? : Of the 280 messages fewer than a handful objected to the flood of : vituperation on grounds of fairness, simple irrelevance, morality, : or even the abusers getting their facts wrong. Let's see proof of these "280 messages mentioning your name", first. After all, you've based the whole recent campaign on this premise! : All the rest were denigratory, abusive, vicious, slanderous, lying, : just simply nasty. Perhaps if you can provide a link showing them we can judge that ourselves. Let's just have a look at how many there *really* were and how they compare with the flood of vituperative, denigratory, abusive, vicious, slanderous, lying, or simply nasty messages group members have had from you since. http://tinyurl.com/uj2g Oh! At worst, called an A**hole, troll, ******; once each! OOOH!!! Most are in jest. One is a book reference. Fairly harmless stuff .... Just 12 threads, 36 total messages mentioning the name "Andre Jute" in the exact period of his most recent absence. I don't count the sockpuppet appearing on the 10th of the 10th. So, that could be just 12 messages - the rest may be quotes in replies. Average of one a month and a free plug! Hardly a flood of anything! In fact, you *could* say he was *almost* forgotten about, in the interim. But that was "Andre" AND "Jute". Let's try "Andre" OR "Jute", to be sure. http://tinyurl.com/uj2g The count goes to 25/75, a couple even complimentary, one another Andre. Big deal. Nothing very offensive or abusive there, in comparison, either. "280 messages mentioning my name in 59 separate threads" ? I find it hard to believe, myself, Mr. Jute, and you have chosen to attack. Explain your assertion, and the reason for choosing to act as you have.
