The poll ended on the 18th Feb and still no reasoned analysis? So I will give mine.
Although Militiades topped the poll with 7 votes, Paphitis came a close second with 5. Even without considering the accusations of multiple votes by a single member, the result was close.
Reading through many of Militi’s posts it would appear to me that he doesn’t so much post ‘
crap’ as many of his posts are quite logical and well informed, but, he does have the frequently applied habit of responding on a very short fuse and uses shall we say colourful language to get his point over. He calls ‘
a spade a spade’! This may upset many members who are easily offended or are of a tender nature. I can say, however he has never abused me in that way ....... or any other way come to that!
Paphitis on the other hand really does produce reams of his unbridled opinion which often lacks understanding, foundation (
proof) and rationale. Although he rarely responds to any queries on his pronouncements he can also reply in colourful ways although he tends not to be as ‘
colourful’ as Milti. He is guilty of often posting multiple consecutive posts of some length and very often contradicts himself from one post to the next. He often resorts to denial when shown to be incorrect. He calls ‘
a spade a pickaxe’ and then denies it and then changes the argument to lawnmowers!
So for actually posting ‘
crap’ Paphitis is in my book, more guilty than Miltiades. However his comments made on other members are still insulting but less offensive than those made by Milti.
So, on balance I would declare a tie as no definition of the term ‘
crap’ has ever been specified.
