What Baseball things recently posted in basically not factual threads but speciation at threads do you take issue?

Most time the attacks or attackers do not give their point of views or even back it up with discussion about it.

I speak my mind, I have that right too on here! Some have said far worse and not be banned for it!

 

I am here cause I am a Bluejays Fan and Fan of the BJMB, not a Stats geek, not a fantasy GM wannabe,

Not a Hater or attacker like some who that is all they bring to the table. I wish only Greater things for this place. This place is one Big Disfunctional family we fight... But get over it... And don't pretend you are your opinions are any more valuable here then anyone else on this board. I have Nobody on ignore and read everything said on here... How many can say the same?

 

I still blame BTS he broke the main forum, f***er!!! Lol

 

 

Ps and yes Grant *******s is a strong word, but I assure you they are here and most know who and what they are !!! Protected elite members of this BJMB, who never heard of debate or that heaven forbid they are not always right!

 

Time for a Rum!!! Lol

 

I like having people like you around that are just hardcore fans and don't care as much about stats. I'm more on the stats side of things, but it makes for interesting conversation. I remember getting best poster a few times on the old forum when more people were on your side of the spectrum. Contrarian views supported by statistics were valued conversation starters and not reasons to ridicule someone. Sometimes what seems obvious isn't. That's why I'm in the sciences and it's why I love to uncover those things in baseball. I also like to see all of the different opinions on the grey areas. It opens up your eyes to new ways of thinking.

 

Unfortunately, critical thinking and logic is met with sarcasm and memes, which don't really interest me. Hopefully we can get back to some good baseball discussion in the future.

*are met

 

Grant you are a living, mouth-breathing meme.

[Grant77]

A thoughtful post is met with grammar nitpick and insult, but no effort is made to address the substance of the discussion. It's the problem with this forum that plays out over and over.

You are literally the most dishonest person with statistics that I have ever encountered in my entire life on the internet.

 

If you've had one critical, objective thought in your life, I'd like to shake that thought's hand.

I didn't get published in multiple scientific journals by being a dishonest researcher. Others that you ridicule have their own accomplishments. I enjoy pointing out the flaws in commonly held opinions and you never like that, but it doesn't mean that others are lying or have an inferior intellect.

[intentional wok]

I generally stay out of the high school girl yearbook threads like this, but I have to say that I'm genuinely surprised you think I'm the nicest guy here, Jim. We've gotten into some severe disagreements at times. I suppose I've just never let my frustration be all that apparent. Cheers.

[Daniel Labude]

Really...worst troll, damn. New leaf starts now.

Anybody that goes out of his way to stand up for another, and debates disagreement without getting personal, is a gem in my books.

This thread is annually one of the worst. Hamming it up in here is the best option.

[Jimcanuck]

Sorry mate.... you've been quite good at times, consider yourself a comeback poster of the year candidate 2017

Let's not rule it out though.

[Boxcar]

I assume it was this

You'd think a guy that consumes so much of it would be able to handle his liquor better.

Abom is getting jobbed. Look at the way Mr. Nice Guy scorns the rest of us plebs.

You don't have much faith in the peer review process if you believe that biased research is that easy to publish in reputable journals. It's not perfect, but I take it seriously when asked to referee. I believe almost everyone else does too.

How hard is it to write about bugs? Seems like being dishonest there would be more of a pain in the ass than it's worth.

 

Maybe one day you'll be able to remove your head from your ass and realize that there are many people here as smart or smarter than you on this board and the fact that they ALL think you're a dishonest prick would send some kind of brain signal to most people. Like that time you said Taijuan Walker was on the cusp of being an ace, and by ace you meant above average starter. Instead of just admitting you exaggerated, you double down and imply that everyone else is just stupid and clearly unable to comprehend what you post.

Yet when we point out your errors on here...you don't respect the peer review process.

The journal/academia system creates direct incentives to conduct biased research or fudge results.

 

When people here tell you irrefutably, objectively, factually that you are wrong you still can't or won't see it.

 

Something like 50% of academic papers are never read by anyone other than review peers. Get stupid/lazy/partisan peers and it's not that hard for garbage to get published.

 

Junk science for profit is also a huge journal issue at present https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2016/09/29/canadian-medical-journals-hijacked-for-junk-science.html.

 

Do I actually think you fudge results and let bias creep into your science life? Absolutely. Abso-f***ing-lutely.

 

I will say objectively, factually, impartially, truthfully, irrefutably, that you're a dishonest scientist. I base this entirely on your baseball forum posting history.

 

Is it possible that you live a double life, have split personalities, and are an honest person in science? Sure. I guess. I doubt it though.

[Terminator]

Wow!

Researchers without PhDs are almost never asked to referee on articles in reputable journals. I have a very hard time believing that a government researcher with an MSc is refereeing journal submissions.
