D'oh, wrong thread :x

Well, the stats on Prince Georges County vs Montgomery County,
all you ever did was a cursury nit, compared to the teardown you've
been doing with other people's stats

Since that "cursory nit" already showed that it was not a controlled comparison and that several variables were changing at once, what more do you expect? Do you understand the difference between a nitpick and a valid criticism? It has nothing to do with how long the post is; it has to do with whether it targets the meat of the argument being made.

Well, when the poverty rate is just 5% in montgomery county, and
7% in PG County, yet the difference in the crime rates is a whopping
200%.....

Since a very small proportion of the total population commits most of the crime, this is not surprising. Think about that for a moment.
