I had just said that I will tell you what's up in my last post. I know you read it. Don't say nobody's willing. I asked you questions in that post that you just decided not to respond to. Very frustrating, if you ask me.
You wrote like maybe thirty words, which included asking me what I would like explained. Considering the message you replied to was basically 'all of it' your response is very similiar to this:
"Senator, do have an opinion on Afghanistan?"
"Yes"
You see how the question kind of implies "and will you tell us what it is?"
I asked:
"if ranagrande said something suspicious someone's gonna have to explain what and how."
and you responded:
"Hmm...well as I said, I thought I made myself pretty clear but yeah...I'm jsut about ready to vote for him if this inactivity gets any worse. I, myself, have had a test today and have another tomorrow which I should be studying for. So I'm gonna get back to that. But give me what your confused about with ranagrande or just tell me that you don't understand it at all and I can go back over my points for you."
Emphaisis mine, I think the answer to that was probably legitimately implied by my saying in the post before that "and again, if ranagrande said something suspicious someone's gonna have to explain what and how. I tihnk my own personal level and form of paranaoi might make me a bit color blind on some things." This seems to me to be a pretty blunt statement translating as "I have no idea what you guys are talking about, please explain", so you see how asking me to tell you what I'm not clear on is sort of a needless question, since the context seems pretty clear that the part I'm not clear on is everything. Okay, I got the 'inactivity thing' but you didn't really show that and I had to check and it turned out to be wrong.
Now, keep in mind I am also talking to beetnemesis, not just you. I already clarified that ranagrande's posting is not low, either compared to player average or his own tendency, which was the only point you got specific on. He had 25 posts, out of around 400 with 14 players and a mod. 400 divided by 15 is 26, 25 is not much lower than 26, and let's not forget that quite a lot of the posts were me and FT skirmishing, me in my usual long-winded fashion, and a bunch of the players from early games (which he isn't) discussing earlier games. I'm disinclined to vote for someone based off their inactivity when they're basically average. Having assumed you read that, since you just replied to the message I said it in, I would like to know what else beet and presumably you find suspciious in his comments, since his 'inactivity' is not even vaguely suspicious, seeing as it is not true.
So his posting rate seems normal, especially for him, he's never been a highly frequent and lengthy poster. Now, I'm tempted to post all his posts in one big mush below and have you and fox point out to me what he says that you both consider so suspicious, because I think I've reread all his comments by now and I'm not seeing it, and all I'm getting in feedback is 'his comments are suspcious', well, I need to know which comments you think are suspicious and why you think they are. Maybe if you point them out to me I'll see it, but as is, just rereading his comments they seemed normal chatter.
Do it, and I'll do my best.
Do what? Post the entirety of his every comment? That's fairly time consuming consider I'm not the one accusing him, you and beet are you know, traditionally, the prosecutor doesn't ask the defense attorney "Well, if you're read off everything he's done in the last month I'd be happy to tell you which of those we are charging him for", I kinda assumed you and beet already knew what was suspicious.
I don't know about you being suspicious but I gotta go study some more so I can't post anymore of my thoughts now. Later, though, after you ask some questions about ranagrande, I'll talk more.
I have the same question as before, "What has he done or said that you find suspicious?" I have no idea how else I am supposed to phrase that Fox. All give it a try, here is what I would like you and/or beet to answer.
Are there some comments he has made you find abnormally suspicious? If yes, please indicate which ones via quaotation or link.
If such comments exist, please explain clearly why they are suspicious, please do not include the words 'vibe', 'instinct', or 'feeling'
Do you, after my posting his total post value and the average, feel that he has been abnromally inactive? If yes, do you mean inactive compared to the average or inactive for his norm. PLease show numerical proof.
Are there any actions you have taken which you feel highlight him as a suspect?
If yes, what actions are they and why do you feel they highlight him?
