Please enlighten me as to what about my post is rhetoric rather than describing a position and backing it up with facts from this very article. You keep saying I'm doing this yet I can't really see what I'm doing beyond assessing a social phenomenon. Can you be more direct than referring me to nebulous guidelines? Because to me it doesn't seem constructive at all.
Fwiw I see posts all over that have the same "fire" that my post does which are top posts. Doubly so for posts that are people just talking their opinions out. Usually around opinion pieces of tech. Is this only different because it involves race?
- darkpuma 7y agoHe probably objects to language like "despicable". To fit in around here, it helps to smoke some dope and like, mellow out. Instead of "despicable" you could say something more chill like "disappointing bruh."
- thatoneuser 7y agoOh trust me I smoke my share of dope. So, when a business owner tries to protect his property, his son gets jumped, and then a university (which no doubt owes plenty of its success to govt backed loans) declares a witch hunt against him to the point where he loses business, employees and salary - it's going too far to call that despicable? Not calling any individual despicable, but the practice and mentality as a whole - that's not appropriate? That's a pretty... Strange limitation IMHO. I sure as hell don't see a high level pattern that one ought to be following.
