I can see your point of protecting sensible people from having to argue their positions. I would like to get your opinion on the parent to which my comment was made. I find the assertion that police kills blacks in a disproportionate manner to be also and even more inflammatory and provocative. I was commenting to the aspect of an unnecessary political comment with an inflammatory slant. Proof is also the fact that the flagging mechanism was used as a censoring method. My post simply stated that he needs more proof for statements made. I am very disappointed on the way this flagging process is used to silence valid and well argued counter points. It is not an intellectual discourse but just a points-based battle.

What a sad person you must be if you feel the need to downvote even this comment. It was a polite and with clear reasoning. The fact that you chose to downvote it shows pettiness on your side. Quite a little man!

:) I'm of the same opinion: you know you have no moral ground and no intelectual argument to make. You simply let yourself be driven by pettiness. :)

:) :) Not even able to articulate why you think this is inappropriate! Especially on a thread that has been detached and hence nobody from the general public can see it. The fact that you simply return to cowardly downvotting it shows that you're trying to compensate somehow for the lack of an ability to debate. Bigly sad for you! :) :)
