Why bother removing it? You're not under the impression that misrepresenting your brother's anecdote matters.
I'm happy we drilled down and got to what really happened, which as far as I can tell was something along the lines of, "my professor said something about race once and it hurt my feelings." In Florida (and probably in Texas, too, or soon enough I imagine), I think that's a felony now!
- natpalmer1776 3y agoI removed it because I'm tired of responding about the individual anecdotes without anyone actually acknowledging the root argument. I don't want to write a three page essay on how I verify information that affects my general outlook of the world, and then dismiss and forget the details surrounding the verification of information as immaterial to the view I now hold. I'm not an academic, I'm just a regular guy who happens to have had bad experiences with professors abusing their positions of authority. I don't have sources to cite, and this belief holds such a small peripheral place in my world view that I don't have the level of detail available to deal with this level of... whatever the hell this was.
