So you're defending a rando dude from being criticized by another Rando dude about going to great lengths to defend himself from other Rando dudes who have unfairly (in your estimation) criticized him over his interpretation of the semantics over a survey that was sold under false pretenses as being one to create policy for the governing organization for a very minor sport when actually it was to further the academic career of another Rando dude who had miserably attempted to troll a multiple world champ of the previously mentioned minor sport?
Y'all are some major, yet entertaining, dorks.
Distinction between a movement, and a single, particular nutty statement.
I mean, I could say the Earth is flat, then accuse anyone who didn't specifically call me out, of denying the round Earth theory.
You don't get to write your own words into someone's silence. We could just as well say that since no conservatives spoke up agreeing with Shallows, that they all disagreed with him, just didn't bother to say so.
That's pretty much what DGCR has become. The same posts have been recycled hundreds of times since 2007 and DGCR lags behind Udisc in terms of reviews/course information and innovation so there's not much left to do other than to have pissing matches.
Some people are a lot different online than they are in person.
You're right. Conservatives are an awful lot braver online than they would be in person.
Sorry, but when it comes to political ideologies there is no distinction to be made there. Single, particular nutty statements are precisely what fueled the decline of the Republican party, and modern conservative ideology.
And sorry, I'm not young and naive enough to believe that I can't infer what isn't being said to fill a silence, when it comes to a huge portion of people throwing themselves gleefully off the cliffs of insanity, and what those in their party aren't saying to regulate that, or dial it back. You can pretend you've got some ground to infantilize my mental faculties in that regard, but don't ever expect me to come within a light year of believing it.
The same could be said about liberals or Libertarians or classical liberals or centrists or socialists or racists or anyone else.
The perception could be that I've "lost" every conversation I am a part of and that'd be fine. I see what you seem to be insinuating I'm going for with my posts - but the fact is that no matter the venue I will be as I am. Winning isn't the point, and never will be.I'll admit, I like inferring others' beliefs as well. It frees me to continue the debate, long after they've left the room, and pads my debate winning percentage considerably.
Winning isn't the point, and never will be.
Maybe some. I'm actually way more polite in here, because I don't want to tax the mods/admins. If half the stuff that's been said in this thread were said to my face, people would've left in tears from what I said to them. <3
Did you just type this unironically.
What other way would it make any sense to type it? I'm rather proud of making bigots storm off in a huff. It's something of a hobby of mine. A game I play, anywhere I find them.

I would like to definitely continue to recommend the book We Are Our Brains by D.F. Swaab - a brilliant neurobiologist and the head of the Netherlands Institute for Brain Research for over two decades.Let's get back on topic
