Someone has been complaining for a long time all over Meta about the top 200 Merit Receivers being a circle jerking club, asking for statistics of those without Merit from "their 200 friends" on the forum. I got tired of still getting dragged into this drama even after putting cryptohunter on ignore, so I did an analysis.
Feel free to (ab)use this for whatever creative statistics you can come up with. For example: I like it, as I'm above DdrmDdrm again, while in reality he kicked me down one spot. Isn't that great? Cheesy

Or just apply some common sense, and you'll see it's completely normal to have less Merit, if you exclude the Top Merit Receivers, most of which are Top Merit Senders too. Could it even be possible Merit is mostly sent to good posts?

This goes beyond feeding the troll, this is like climbing into a lion's den at the zoo and trying to pet him. You know you're gonna get mutilated no matter what, right? Grin

If anyone could get the top 200 - remove the top 200 -250- 300 and meta board then put it up in the format above that would be great. Then just keep that updated and no need to comment on it again in future people can look at it a draw their own conclusions.

So you want to keep removing merits until you get the result that you want?

Let me rephrase that. You want someone else to keep removing the merits and otherwise tweaking the numbers until you get the result that you want.

After my last post I'm not sure why you are suggesting I am trying to maul anyone.

Are you saying that I did not previously and actually requested (r1s2g3 do this on PM even before even posting it on the forum) removing the top 300 from the top 200? I will find the post if you like. This is not as you are suggesting some new request.

The result will be the result. The numbers will be the numbers. You can not tweak them. I have explained why I have suggested the top 300 previously.

I don't want a result. The stats are the stats. Where as the statements you have previously made...well..... (i won't keep posting them because it is not nice for you )

Anyway, I am sure you don't want to go through all this again today do you. Take a day off from me and relax. You know what happens when you get all stressed out. I take no pleasure in seeing you get angry upset and irrational. I mean already we are all having a semi civil conversation and you appear instantly with "the troll". Try to be more friendly and lighten up. I was once told by a very smart person on this board that the argument itself is far more important than the tone someone uses to present it. That part of what he said has stuck with me.

Now just have a nice day. I've already said numerous times I have nothing against you and that you are net positive so just chill out. I even said you had a good idea the other day. but you can be too aggressive and irrational at times. I mean disagree for sure but come with a sensible counter argument and just remain calm. I am a very open minded person actually. I would far rather discover an undesirable reality than live in my own self constructed matrix.

@dmdrdmdr

thanks for explaining that to me.
