His anecdotes is a way of putting what he's saying down.
If it was a minority person saying something about their experiences that you didn't agree with, would you refer to them as their anecdotes?
- Pfhreak 6y agoWhat you are asking is a diversion -- he's not a minority, he's part of the dominant social group (at least from my reading). I'm not saying his experiences didn't happen, I'm saying they contradict the wider view. It has nothing to do with whether I agree or not -- his feelings are absolutely his feelings, likewise his experiences. They just aren't representative of the wider whole.
- stormdennis 6y agoYou didn't answer my question, I notice. Perhaps he's a person who has been or felt he has been, hard done by? Is he not allowed to voice "his truth"?
- Pfhreak 6y ago> You didn't answer my question, I notice. Correct. It was a bad faith strawman question (I called it diversive above). > Is he not allowed to voice "his truth" I then immediately said he's free to voice his experiences. Maybe you are trying to engage in good faith, if so, you should know it reads as concern trolling.
- stormdennis 6y agoI'm not going to say what you write, reads as. Suffice it to say that I imagine you don't receive the adulation you feel you deserve.
