Alright kids...A little bit of Stat Deduction 101...
Of course, most of us, if not all of us, have a slanted position when debating...we like people to hear our thoghts, and like it when they respond in kind...
But have you ever noticed how certain members don't like the idea of that two-way street?...Ever notice members only wanting to get out their agenda with little regard for YOUR opinions?...
Well, I've done a little research, and found the King of this...His name is danarhea...
If you don't know by now, his modus operandi is to flood the forums with op-ed pieces and Libertarian literature due to his feelings of betrayal from the republican party...sort of like a revenge tactic one would immaturely take out on their ex-spouse or ex-lover...They live for spite...
So that's the agenda...
But I'm more concerned with the other side of debate...Sure he wants you to know how he feels and he wants you to respond...But does he respond in kind to how YOU feel on YOUR threads and topics?
Not a chance in hell!...danarhea doesn't give a rat's ass what anyone on this forum thinks...unless, of course, it's said in HIS thread and HIS topic...If it's in YOUR thread with YOUR topics, he hardly knows you exist...
Here's the data...
Currently, danarhea has a total post count of 939...Here's a stat that should blow the mind away for any veteran member here...
Out of those 939 total posts, 232 of them were starting a new thread!...That's almost 1 out of every 4 posts!...
To give you a fair comparison for how out of whack that is, I have over 6,000 posts...and have started 190 new threads...
BUT...
As a Moderator, most of my threads are discussing issues in the Mod Forum in an administrative capacity...So how many have I started publicly?...
25...
To give you more of an idication of how one person's agenda is being shoved down your throats, I've looked up the members that have more than 2,500 posts...more than 3 times the number of danarhea's total number...The NEXT person in line with the greatest number of posts has 118...The person after that?...78...
That's right folks...The member with LESS than 1000 posts has started more threads than the next TWO members combined...AND they have more than 10 THOUSAND posts!...
For Wayne Gretsky, that would be admirable...In a debate forum, it's pretty friggin' sad...
But that's only half of the story...Here's the bigger issue the members should be concerned about...
Sure...danarhea has an agenda, but does he contribute to the forum by getting involved with everyone else and their discussions?...
Sadly, the answer is "no"...
I've looked up danarhea's last 250 posts...here's the breakdown of the number of posts that dealt with his own agenda compared to the number of his total posts...
20 out of the last 25
37 out of the last 50
53 out of the last 75
72 out of the last 100
90 out of the last 125
110 out of the last 150
140 out of the last 200
175 out of the last 250
By my trusty calculator, he attends to himself 70% of the time while contributing just 30% to the rest of the members.
Just a bit selfish, don't ya think?...
