There’s a recurring pattern: people ask you to back up what you say, and then you respond with “I won’t do that.”
- aviv 8y agoAnd my comment there stands. It's gotten worse since then, instead of downvotes I simply get flagged and my content disappears. No point.
- yorwba 8y agoThere's also no point in posting that you wont post because of getting downvoted and flagged, because that post will also get downvoted and flagged. If you make a controversial claim backed up by sources, you will get negative reactions from people who doubt the validity of those sources. If you make a controversial claim and refuse to provide sources because people would doubt their validity, you'll get negative reactions even from someone who might have agreed with you, because that's just rude.
