> your opinion is meaningless
Given they claimed, at least, to have personal xp on the matter then why is it meaningless?
Care to back up these statements?:
> it feels like it cannot possibly be
> I feel like you’re probably just making up your anecdata or exaggerating the size of it
> your experiences are about as valuable as my grandparents’ experience with “the Blacks”
That last one is clearly a reference to racism, so what are you accusing? surely not that you don't care either way?
> it’s not “silencing conversation” to acknowledge
but dog whistles and insinuations intended to attract flags do.
> Why does that matter?
Maybe have a conversation and find out?
- fauxpause_ 4y ago> Given they claimed, at least, to have personal xp on the matter then why is it meaningless? Because personal experience is highly unlikely to amount to enough evidence to make a claim that anyone should feel comfortable generalizing to a population of humans. Positive or negative. > Maybe have a conversation and find out? My dude, I literally said “let’s have [a discussion]” and posed the exact question you are quoting to invite a conversation.
- Chris2048 4y ago> highly unlikely to amount to enough evidence to make a claim that anyone should feel comfortable generalizing to a population of humans Then what is the solution? quoting a study after all? You also didn't explain why you mention all the things you "feel" about the poster, given you have such high standards of evidence - e.g. that they are making stuff up - what is that based on if not xp? > My dude, I literally said Saying "sure, let's do this" after making it very clear that their opinion didn't matter, and you think they were making stuff up? I don't think it was inviting a discussion in good faith, whether you said it or not.
