Data Gerrymandering

Intentionally changing what the data actually show to fit a claim furthering an agenda. Anytime someone ignores, suppresses, or alters findings, results, data or statistics to fit their agenda. This could be media skewing a graph to hype fear (ex. of violent crime, drug use), politicians ignoring data needed to accurately assess a policy (ex. Lead in the water), social scientists beefing up a study's results to be published, companies claiming a product is safe (ex. Pharmaceutical clinical trials), and everyday users of Twitter who offer a "poll" to show what 'everyone' thinks.
The graph showing the increase in violent crime nationwide was obvious data gerrymandering because the statistics were only taken from the cities with populations over 1 million.

The Senator was gerrymandering data when he said that giving ex-felons the right to vote would mean all the convicted terrorists will be able to cast a ballot.

Garry's Mod

A mod of which the community once thrived, now ruined by the hordes of 10 year olds with sethhack and devnull. One can no longer have fun in Garry's Mod because Seth ruined it.

Sethhack users have the ability to grab your IP and use a DDoS tool called "devnull" made by Stan that Seth helps market to the children. So you cannot have an anti-cheat to stop sethhack, Seth and his minions will simply DDoS your server. You cannot have active admins to ban them, they will DDoS your server and your admins. You cannot call them out or make just make the game bad for them, they will just DDoS you. You cannot prop trap or counter the sethhack users in any way, they just DDoS you. Sethhack has awakened the once subtle cancer in Garry's Mod, and it will never go away. Seth has damaged the community so much it is now in a unrepairable state. If Sethhack were to go down it would soon be replaced, then Stan would sell devnull on that forum. It would be the same.
user1: Hey, that dude is aimbotting, ban him!
sethhackuser: lol noob u want ddos ? u better not ban noob ;)

Garry Newman

Garry Newman created the mod Garry's Mod, and sandbox version of HL2. At the time of it's first release Garry was an amateur C++ coder, most of his knowledge coming from the internet. Gmod's (Short for Garry's Mod) first release had a "rope gun" allow ropes to be attached to props, and a man hack gun that spawn man hacks and cameras (NPC's in HL2) throughout the single player HL2. Since then in it's latest version (Gmod 11), Garry's Mod has access to most Source Games content (Maps, Models, etc.) and a wild variety of tools including, but not limited to, Weld tool, No-Collide tool, Hover Ball tool, Thrusters, Prop Spawner, Material, etc. It also supports Lua as an addon framework. Gmod has a huge fan base and thanks to Lua a large amount of community made mods, most innovating of which is the Wire Mod. (See garrysmod.org). Originally Gmod was free, up until Gmod 10 when it was released for $10 (Half of which goes to Valve, the other half to Garry and his team). Garry's Mod 10 was on the top 10 sellers of Valve for many months. Garry Newman lives in Britain and has since made over 1.5 million dollars thanks to Gmod.
