Well let's just take a looksie, shall we? http://www.createdebate.com/user/ Bronto has 8161 points. Bronto has 8117 arguments. A difference of 44 points, which isn't much. Pretty balanced. Let's compare this to "hell no" who sits at 2nd on the leader board. http://www.createdebate.com/user/ Points 17618 Arguments 14625 A difference of about 3,000 points Now let's look at PhxDemocrat. http://www.createdebate.com/user/ Points 13123 Arguments 11828 A difference of about 1,300 Now let's look at Srom. http://www.createdebate.com/user/ Points 12116 Arguments 9267 A difference of about 3,000 points. Now let's look at PrayerFails. http://www.createdebate.com/user/ Points 11170 Arguments 8683 A difference of about 2,500 points. Now let's look at Jolie. http://www.createdebate.com/user/ Points 8732 Arguments 5619 A difference of about 3,000 points. 1

You know, right, that it just proves what he said? I hardly care about the points or the difference (as you can see, it's about 30% for me). The difference increases when you downvote others, or are active on a debate beyond the posssibility to earn points, or rarely use the Clarify button. I believe some information on that is available in the FAQs. In other words, you care too much about points. Add the weekly leaderboard (in other words, frequency) to that... and it's clear as vaccuum. 1

He has mastered the game and is 'A number 1' on the site. I predict he will run out of steam in due course but shall remain indefinitely within the top 10. He's not gratuitously critical nor a ''name caller'', ( like I am) but opposes counter views with logic and well researched facts. Let's give credit where credit is due and congratulate him on his 'thought stimulating' posts and great contribution to the site. Three cheers for Bronto. Flooding CD with his madness, day after day. He has that right, one of the disadvantages of a democracy. I will say that the First Amendment needs some clarification on just what is allowed in "free speech". Like yelling FIRE in a crowded building, there should be some definitions on what constitutes "hate speech" and it should not be allowed any more than "hate crimes". |
