From the guidelines:
Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize.
----------
The vast majority are not doctors, nurses or public defenders. The vast majority work for private companies whose direct value to the local community is much less obvious, with the exception of paying people who (might?) live close by to the business.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agoplease don't do this, it's the lowest form of rebuttal and is itself technically breaking the guidelines.
- chownie 3y agoAs far as I can tell there's nothing in the guidelines telling us not to mention them when someone's plainly in violation. Plus I did actually include a refutation, which you've then ignored to make this complaint.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agoWhat's ironic is that you didn't respond to the strongest version of their argument.
- chownie 3y agoThe guidelines stipulate answering to the strongest version of their argument, I did that while staying true to real demographics. The guidelines notably do not stipulate I must respond to any argument someone makes by assuming every statement is true. In the spirit of being kind and avoiding snark, that'l be the end of this chain :)
