      I’d say the fact that pretty much everyone here is disagreeing with you suggests the opposite is true.

        This network is not a neutral place full of unbiased, rational people.

        Nobody’s really arguing as to how I’m wrong, just mostly drive by down voting and saying “nuhuh!” Also see TrickDacy above, who says he can see my point but is still arguing because he didn’t like how I said it.

          Interesting that you find your own anecdotal evidence to be valid, but the anecdotal evidence I presented, which can actually be demonstrated to be true rather than what you claim to be true but can’t back up, is not valid.

            I haven’t seen you present a single anecdote at all.

            One snake bite is an anecdote. Two snake bites is data. Snakes bite.

              This would be the anecdote:

              I’d say the fact that pretty much everyone here is disagreeing with you suggests the opposite is true.

              123 downvotes on your initial comment sounds like data to me.

              Again, seems like you have a bit of a double-standard.
