You should be happy mnmracer! Lewis isn't even on the list !! And Alonso above Senna! fanio below vettel
Does this not tell you something about polls??

What should it tell me that I already haven't told CF6?
That a popularity poll is not representative of actual performances?

[mnmracer]

You are right mnm - what do us common public know. Lets stop watching and leave them to compete on private tracks, behind closed doors.

Im sure they will do just fine.

So you believe a poll that says Fernando Alonso is 4x better than Ayrton Senna is representative?

That opinion is subjective.

CF6 was making the argument that the opinion was a good argument of why Vettel should not considered one deserving of credit.
If that is truly the argument you wish to make, you should tell that to CF6. Somehow I doubt you will though.

If you want to defend a poll that says Alonso is 4x better than Senna as representative of Formula One, enjoy your opinion, but don't expect many people to value it.

I'm not defending the poll. I'm making the point that polls tell you diddlysquat.
I don't think that ( what you suggest) is what Cookie was saying.
But I'll give my opinion to anyone, you or Cookie.

100% exactly my point. So why are you arguing with me?

I'm not arguing with you.

No I believe that anyone that just dismisses a poll, purely because it comes from the general public, is obviously better than everyone else, is obtuse, is patronising, and is not worth debating with as they are blinkered in their own opinion.

Thats what I believe. But Im just the common public, so I obviously know nothing.

And PLEASE stop saying the poll is saying Alonso is 4xbetter than Schumcher, and twice as good as Senna. it CLEARLY doesnt say that - and as someone that puts so much effort / faith in figures, you clearly don't understand them.

Please do not attribute acts to me I have not done.
I HAVE NOT dismissed the poll because 'it comes from the general public'.
I dismissed it for TWO reasons, which I clearly stated:

1. It is a poll so obviously not representative of any other poll, of any other public voice, that that in itself dismisses itself as a statistical anomaly, rather than anything representative.
2. It is a poll which is known to have been polluted by a Tweet calling all Alonso fans from all over to go and vote for Alonso.

You know this damn well, just as you know that this is just a sad attempt to mock me rather than even the tiniest effort of a quality debate, because you'd have to make an effort (which you did) to twist my words into what you did.

[LRW]

Of course mnm, of course.

[mnmracer]

Of course mnm, of course.

Quality response, as usual.
Why even bother responding if you have no intention of anything bordering a decent argument?

[What's Burning?]

Let's get back on topic... You guys think Vettel will get booed when he wins in India? If he doesn't it could make it three for three!

Because mnm - I dont want an argument. I know you like them, but the rest of us tend not to.

No, I dont think he will, not in India.

I do not like an argument, I DO NOT LIKE BEING ACCUSED of something I have not done.
Something which is factually visible to anyone, that I have not done what you accuse me of.
It's a very simple matter of common decency.

If you don't want to argue with me, do not blame me of things I have not done, or have the decency to admit fault.
I hardly think that is too much to ask.

[1Lemon]

No one accused you of anything. That's simply how you read his response.

Yeah all 4 fans at the race will be booing
