Challenge: Collounsbury vs December

Great Debates
1

As usual, in The Bell Curve thread, Collounsbury has found it neccessary to rip into another poster that he disagrees with. In this case it would be the most personally vituperative poster attacking the most maligned poster December. And once again we have a debate of opinions rather than the facts, Collounsbury being right of course because

So much for the rules of GD.

Now Collounsbury made this charge in the Bell Curve Thread

Now earlier, December asserted

In light of the fact that December makes distinction in favour of The Bell Curve, and makes his living analyzing statistics for the profit of insurance companies, for a long time I might add, I must conclude that he has no issue with the statistics and approves of them.

Now if these two gentlemen, ahem, approve, I suggest that Collounsbury present evidence to back his charge that a series of fundamental statistical errors exist in the Bell Curve.

If we do get that far, it should be interesting to read December’s response.

I ask all other poster’s to please refrain from posting. Lets have the clash of the titans.

Thanks for the compliment, grienspace. However, I will decline your invitation. I will continue to post on The Bell Curve thread, rather than here. Posters such as Truth Seeker, Apos and tomndebb have been conducting an excellent debate over there

Ah Greeny, still smarting eh? Need some vasaline?

As for your “conclusions” Greeny, take some advice, you should avoid stating your conclusions in public (e.g. in re Xians in Jerusalem) to avoid self-induced humiliation.

december, you gonna let him say that about your Mamma?

Collounsbury, did you know that december says Arafat is a Berber, and the Koran was originally written in Aramaic?

(Blessed are the peacemakers, sure, but troublemakers have more fun!)

Moderator’s Note: Both december and Collounsbury are entirely capable of starting threads and responding to threads if they so desire. There is NO need for anyone to start any threads of the “let’s you and him fight” variety, not in Great Debates, and not anywhere else on the Straight Dope Message Board.

grienspace: DO NOT DO THIS AGAIN.
