plantcollector said:I don't feel like questioning the odds is the issue. It was subtle and not so subtle insinuations that the drawing was somehow rigged that caused the problem. I think it should be dropped- I would hate to see the raffles discontinued because someone complained.
Your own feelings about what you feel another person might have been thinking when they make a post is irrelevant because you cannot read minds and its a mistake to put in words I never said... changing the words changes the meaning of a sentence.... and therefore there is no virtue in inserting your own words and meaning into another person's comment. It's incorrect.
Dave posted his program for anyone who has a tendency to jump to conclusions....
I would suppose that should be good enough resolution for anyone who does that. I don't see any reason for
anyone to continue to project their own feelings into my comment.

There is also no logic in fearing that a raffle would end because I said I dont have time to take more pictures. I'm sure this sight is not governed on my personal schedule or whether I personally choose to buy the products or buy raffle tickets. Reasonably.... who cares what I choose?
(Don't assume this is cynicism... It's truly humorous of you to worry about such a thing happening over silly me. I'm sure Dave is wiser than that.)
Now as far as my eccentrically joking comment about Robert driving me off the data base... He didn't really ask me exactly what it was joking about.... he could have but chose not to.
Never the less he did point out the same stats I did.
My comments said there were high rollers... Robert confirmed it.
My comments said that the same people have won repeatedly even if I had purchased more acorns. He backed me up when he compared his odds to mine. Neither Robert or I said there was anything WRONG in what happened. It appears to me this may just a case of Dogpiling on me for perceiving the odds and for concluding my time could be more wisely spent.
Yes.... That's frustrating when folks do that but I forgive you anyway.
(It's true most people do have a tendency to see and respond to others emotionally rather than rationally which is human error.) πΊ
Happy Gardening.
