Talk about mod abuse. It made no sense to you, emphasis on YOU. I didn’t write for a lay crowd, if I wanted to address the common person I would have started a debate over facebook. If you can’t handle something then you need to stay out.
I am sure you have personal motives for closing it as it related to race. Are you a negro by chance sir?
Well, if that is a fairly accurate summary, (and I cheerfully wait for Transcendence himself to weigh in) then I’d have to disagree. I’m not an expert on evolutionary biology, but I can see how racism has some evolutionary aspect to it.
Beyond that, I suppose it’s as much of a “construct” as religion, or economics, or art, or science, or any other large pool of human thought. We could debate how “real” these concepts are, but we can’t ignore that a great many people devote a great deal of energy promoting them.
Transcendence, I may be the only poster to this thread willing to talk to you with the respect you want. Why are you not responding?
He’s as black as you are intelligent, Sir.
I think you accidentally swapped the prefix. At least in my consensus reality.
Because I have been wrongfully censored and I will not tolerate such a dishonest practice against my scholarship.
Then piss off.
By the way, you posted this diatribe, including personal insults, while the thread was in Great Debates. Make very sure that you do not repeat that offense or you will not post here at all.
(With a claim that you have “been here” before, you are already on shaky ground as you appear to be proclaiming yourself a sock-puppet of a previous poster. If you have posted under a different name in the past, I would urge you to contact TubaDiva or another administrator immediately to resolve the issue, otherwise we are just going to ban you for breaking the rules, anyway.)
Ok… the man’s TRYING to get banned. He WANTS it.
Why’s he still here? So we can demonstrate our forbearance? So we can find out if he really will FINALLY cross enough lines?
What are we doing here?
Right, I just needed to lash out and I have. I leave proudly knowing no one had the balls to list their TRUTHFUL academic credentials. I take such a disability to be a silent acknowledgment of my point and my understanding of the clientele on this website.
Tch. He isn’t really looking for respectful intelligent debate. He’s looking for flamboyant banning. Suicide by mod. No one is this hilariously, cluelessly insufferable.
He posted his GPA? Who does that? How insecure can you get?
To everyone else: Get your licks in quick.
That’s not how we play here. Anomalous Reading got it right with:
The only person likely to give a damn about your incredible scores!!zomg!11 are your parents. I’m sure they’re beaming with pride right about now.
I find myself confused. Isn’t this post about how moronic we all are for unilaterally backing an action that 99.99% of us have as much control about as you do? I mean, I find myself capable of recognising that the actions of one mod do not entitle me to cast aspersions upon the entirety of a message board - I mean, at the very least, those who replied in your thread, presumably those who didn’t want to censor anything, number more than all the mods in GD - but certainly I could be wrong when I point out you probably shouldn’t post your wise, college-educated remarks on a board you consider full of low-minded fools.
I am sure you had personal motives for opening it as it related to race. Have you been accused of racism by any chance?
Revenant, 2:1 in Psychology, not that any of you should give a shit.
Well, you may have to decide what’s more important to you, then - explaining your philosophical concept to a potentially receptive listener, or railing about not being able to explain your philosophical concept to potentially receptive listeners.
You can take it as you wish, of course, but all it really is is a refusal to baited by you. No one here has anything to prove to you, and we all realize, as you seem to have failed to, that posting academic “credentials” is utterly meaningless.
I don’t care about your empty threats. It’s not like I am being barred from APA. I am satisfied either way. Now I know that the majority of your clientele have no real education.
pat pat
That’s nice sweetie. Shhh, now. The grownups are talking.
Are you basing this on sampling? My own education includes a Bachelor’s in MIS, which covers statistical analysis, and I’m not sure your threads have been around long enough for a majority of the board’s clientele to see them, let alone comment on them.
If you are using a sample, what’s your margin of error?
What comes to mind in all of this is the Star Trek episode (OS), about that petulant alien dandy who challenged Kirk to a duel, only to get slapped in the face.
I am not here to explain or educate in anyway. I am here to defeat and undermine your arguments. That’s the point of a debate is it not?
