@loyce (he can't see me anyway)

I only have to hear

"Looking at it the wrong way"

"bending the facts"

to realise this is another attempt to claim high merit user = higher quality poster than low merit user

Even suchmoon has now confirmed without definition of a good post or good poster then the score is meaningless. Loyce is a little slower than suchmoon... sometimes in a good way (according to fox pup)

There is no incorrect way to look at the 0.13% lose 80% or greater of their merits if you simply remove the opinions of the same 0.13% the fact or not they are merit sources with most to give  then that is an result of the system and how it is set up and not an excuse to claim that still representing better posts get more merit than less good posts. However, as I have said there is no issue so long as you do not make silly claims about what the numbers mean.

That is simply numbers... that are not bending fact, not looking at the numbers upside down.

It is quite obvious more collisions, in a smaller board or boards (not the main discussion boards which you would think are the main boards on this forum) between people with more merit to give to each other for posts they align with are going to cycle merits around until there are some crazy even more meaningless scores.

I mean I am sure loyce wants you to believe he is the 3rd most valuable poster after theymos and satoshi on this board. That is obviously insane since he makes simple logical mistakes which I have brought him up on on time and time again without and reply from him about them. So by that measure the rest of the board are only incapable of making posts with even greater errors and even less valuable due to being illogical . I do not believe if I was talking to people of GM, VB, DZ theymos any critical thinkers that I would be finding huge holes in their statments and remarks . I am sorry but high merit rating does not equal higher value of posts generated than that of lower merit rating users. There are those with far lower merit than myself whom I know would not be making such strange logical errors during a debate. Same for suchmoon and most others that are arguing about all of this. (not all)

I have said this does not mean though that top scoring merit holders are bad posters either or worse than lower scoring merit holders. The only way one could know for sure was if every single post made here was matched agains the same comprehensive criteria for being good or having value. That is as of now impossible. So be satisfied that you are a popular poster.... at least within the 0.13%.

Stop going on and on about it and even following me here to this post (about me apparently) and keeping the topic going after I have said I am satisfied that all possible argument has been explored several times. It's like complaining there is a fire and then continually pouring on more fuel and throwing in a few gas bottles now and then.

I mean loyce should be grateful he got to re post data which I had already requested and presented several times from r1s2g3 and get over 20+ merits for it from his merit pals. What is there to moan about.
