Stop lying, eye95. Those who voted chose February, April, May, and June. When you calculate the weighted average of the votes against the months, the mean date is April 29, the closest Sunday of which is May 1.
The overwhelming majority (nearly 3/4) rejected May.
This is a lie. The poll included no mention of a date rejection, only a date preference.
As of today, the preference for April is 2:1 over May.
Lie. You're using
mode, an inappropriate means of statistically determining preference among a moderately diverse response. The appropriate statistical measure is the
mean, which is April 29, and the closest Sunday of which is May 1.
If we read the history of the date selection, it was chosen, without any real discussion by two or three people, long before this poll. They are determined to stick with this date without consideration to any objection or poll to the contrary.
Willful misdirection, falsification, i.e. lie.
The date was initially chosen as the only date in April or May which didn't conflict with other, inappropriate holidays, such as Mother's Day. After eye95 raised his initial objections, and this poll was initiated, I tossed the date. Upon the closing of the poll, I examined the answers and determined (see spreadsheet, below) the mean was a whopping three days away from the originally chosen date.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist...
...or are we about grassroots as opposed to mandates from on high?
Absolutely we are about grassroots, and the grassroots were polled, the grassroots have spoken, and will continue to speak!
Meanwhile, you're the only "on high" individual here mandating we do things
your way, instead of the way nearly everyone else has decided by means of commentary and poll vote.
How disingenuos! How deceptive!
Here's a heavy-handed decision for you, eye95: I've bent over backwards trying to fit your input into everything else going on. I've spent an inordinate amount of time attempting to justify my decisions in response to your pandering, yet instead of attempting to show the slightest bit of understanding or considering for the many opinions of others, the vast majority of which do NOT agree with you, you stand there jumping up and down like a 5th grader who's upset he's not getting his way.
I'll always entertain legitimate gripes, complaints, moans, and even b*****s. I'll not waste any further time on the childish behavior of anyone who willfully refuses to see past the end of their nose and who, apparently, could care less if their temper tantrums put a serious damper what should rightfully be the freedom of others to gather as they see fit.
Congratulations, eye95 - you're now on my very short, one-person ignore list.
Bump that.
