Another, one same thread. Monstro mischaracterizes other posters as claiming stats are dispositive in a certain situation. She also falsely claims that people saying that they (the stats) are “proof of guilt” Several posts have to be read in series to see what’s going on. # 918 (Her initial claim re: “dispositive”, in response to Lochdale, together with her “proof of guilt” mischaracterization) , then ## 934, 936, 939, 946.
Another one, from here: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=194004&page=1&pp=50&highlight=monstro
where Linty Fresh calls Monstro on misrepresenting him several times:
Here’s yet another poster who is annoyed with Monstro’s mischaracterizetion habit:
Thank you. Not everybody is big enough to do this. I do appreciate it.
And I regret posting the above reply to Miller. I would not have done so if I had seen your apology first.
As I don’t intend to participate further in this thread (in light of your apology), and as my links are somewhat cumbersome, I will understand if people choose not to wade through them. In any event, I won’t be commenting further, even if others choose to do so.
I apologize for my tone in the first post I made here. I have some hot-button issues, and being wrongly accused of something significant (as racism obviously is), is one of those issues. Although you may not have intended such an accusation, that’s how I read what you wrote, and I reacted harshly.
It’s alright. One thing I’ve learned from this thread is that we all have baggage, and sometimes that baggage prejudices us unfairly.
I can be prejudiced just as much as anyone else. Since now I know how irritating it is to be mischaracterized, I’m going to try to be more fair in my judgements.
