I provided data to support my case. Some people are attacking me but not providing a reason. Saying "I'm right, but I refuse to prove it!" doesn't get you much

I provided data to support my case. Some people are attacking me but not providing a reason.
Saying "I'm right, but I refuse to prove it!" doesn't get you much.
- x0x0 12y agoYou provided cherry-picked facts, and couldn't even manage get the few you included right. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ellen+pao+lawsuit http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ellen+pao+lawsuit
- malvosenior 12y agoI'm disengaging with you because you're obviously here to troll. If you want to provide any additional information do it somewhere in this thread.
- tptacek 12y agoThat commenter is being a bit aggressive, but they don't appear to be trolling; their critique is valid. One of the oldest message board rhetorical tricks in the book is to use a grossly incomplete summary as an ambit claim, and then to retcon facts from the inevitable rebuttals into that argument. It shouldn't surprise you that people don't want to help you do that.
- malvosenior 12y agoTheir critique is: you're wrong but I won't tell you why. I don't see how that's helpful. I don't know what you're suggesting we do either. You don't want to supply facts because they'll be "retcon"-ed? That's a new one.
- tptacek 12y agoIf it weren't obvious to anyone who'd been following the case how superficial your summary was, that would be a valid point.
- malvosenior 12y agoOk, well if you can't provide any information then I'm afraid there's not much else for us to discuss.
- bane 12y agoAnother one of the oldest message board rhetorical tricks is to claim somebody is wrong because they're supplying incomplete information and then after multiple requests to multiple people to fill in the gaps simply refuse to do so.
