beevul, trying to wiggle out of his gaffe on internet polls: Misrepresenting what I said, I mean. When I said "the result isn't 'bogus', its a reflection of the sad reality of the side of the issue that you are on", I wasn't referring to the poll result.

Here is the sequence from the above thread:

I wrote, clearly referring to the OP's unscientific internet poll: Gun enthusiasts can vote more than once, indeed as many times as they wish depending on their access to a different computer or likely a different log on screen name (some limit to a computer).

beevul replied, clearly referring to internet polls: But the far superior in number anti-gunners had to be up early to catch the bus/do homework/thedogatemyexcuse and therefore couldn't do the same?

I replied: I already addressed this in the very post you replied to: >>> "Gun owners tend to be quite intense regarding gun control & guns, & 'vote' at a far greater rate than gun control advocates & impartials, which generally produces bogus pro gun results."

beevul asserted: In general, if one group has more intensity, they vote more, than a group with relatively low intensity who doesn't, the result isn't 'bogus', its a reflection of the sad reality of the side of the issue that you are on.

I wrote: That is one of the stupidest interpretations of the accuracy of internet polling I've ever read.

Baloney mr tap dancer. I wasn't misrepresenting what you wrote. In context we were discussing your internet poll OP & internet polls as being unscientific. That gun owners do respond inordinately is what contributes to making internet gun polls unscientific.

beebul: I was referring to the result of one group having more intensity than another. The astute reader will notice and take into context, the words at the very beginning of my sentence: "In general". To the honest (and the literate), the words "in general" denote quite a different meaning than "when it comes to internet polls":

Translation: Egads, I've been boomeranged by my own contradictory nonsense. I must dazzle readers with BS to extricate myself from this mess of my own making - my own pro gun side won't care, & they won't know the difference anyway.

beevul: Im not sure you should give advice about reading, given the problems I've demonstrated that you have in that department.

There you have it readers - beevul telling readers that tortoise & sari's remarks on beevul's OP shouldn't be considered, simply because JTO is quoting them.
You are delusionary - you haven't demonstrated that I cannot read & comprehend; what you have proved is that you are a truth twisting con artist.
Just like donald trump.
