To Protect and to Serve II

[WoodsmanVol]

I'm hoping he actually reads it and is just trolling. (He's quite openly and unambiguously stated he does a lot of this for "fun") Otherwise not wanting to read something he actually asked for that even HE admitted could have potentially "resulted in me modifying my views" pretty much defines willful ignorance.

I would have read it if not for his predetermination putdowns. I even admitted it could modify my perception, though I had my doubts about it as states previously, and as to why. I even tried to just drop the going nowhere back and forth, only to receive further insulting preconceived accusations. Which were Batman assessments, as indicated by the Superman quote. But no matter, this is the very stuff I long came to expect in the political forum, thus why I troll here. You folks make it fun. Sadly, this time I was ready to read despite my doubts, and prepared to, if I deemed accurate, accept the results. I don;t argue with the truth, I just reject twisted and biased interpretions of truths, which convert it into lies. Are we having fun yet?

Why would someone's commentary about you keep you from availing yourself of potentially* valuable edification? Does that strike you as a particularly intelligent MO? Do as you will but c'mon man, you see the argument presented here. Beyond that there's precious little interest in me concerning myself with how you approach the issue.

*Potentially in that what you take from the study in question (or not) is up to you.

Because sometimes the faster route to peace is to give the dissenter what they want, wish them well, and walk away. However, some dissenters refuse to let you do even that. IF, IF, IF, I read the study, I wouldn't comment on it here because I already see what would happen if I did.. Peace be with you, water be with you--the alien way.

The boldened would be a perfectly acceptable way to avoid being willfully ignorant and still circumvent any troublesome interactions. Given your concerns probably the best possible course of action.

Stay alien out there.

He has still not offered explanation to why he simply didn't ask for the study right off.

My guess is that would decrease the "fun" he experienced.

I didn't ask because I didn't believe the study existed. Just as I now don't believe you'd provide an intelligent response if I read the articles and commented on them here. In contrast, I OFTEN back up my comments with links to articles. Not always but often. When you didn't the automatic deliberation was that such a study didn't exist. See? I can the preconceived judgment thing too.

My idea was better, try to end the exchanges because McBaby was becoming increasingly vile. Tried it thrice, didn't work. I might read the material, likely only because of the interesting claim he made about what color bands are emitted by ethnic groups impacts whether cops will abuse or kill a person or not. Insane idea, but you know, truth can be stranger than fiction at times. That's the alien truth.

you were the one who started with the predetermined putdowns.

you insulted the study as political, and racist, without knowing the first thing about it. because you didn't know about the study you didn't realize that YOUR predetermined response was completely backwards from the study itself.

it was done by a black guy to prove cops shoot black people more than they should. he got the opposite results. so the guy redid the study again before publishing, got the same results. so he finally published after he was able to convince himself the data was real.

and now you are ignoring a study because it would challenge YOUR predetermined response because YOU assigned a wrong predetermined response to the person you were talking to.

I don't think its McDad with a problem of predetermined putdowns. be more like the guy who did the study and be willing to actually learn and engage honestly before jumping to conclusions because it challenges your preconceived notions.

Some people are just incapable of having intellectually honest debate......... Which makes them utterly useless in this forum.

We don't have to all agree. In fact the forum would be boring if we did.

But we can dialogue about stuff we disagree on. A good example of how to do that is the Malikowski thread.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

In reality, this forum is nothing but a safe place for MAGA-ist, conspiracists, Trumpians, Nazis, Putin-puppets, and brown haters. Way I see it, your favorite pastime is to gang up on those you disagree with, try to outdo each other hitting them with ridicule, insults, verbal code winks, and other ploys played here. As a Thark alien, I'm drawn to the idiocratic mindsets here. I find it amusing.

This forum leans right for sure, and sometimes the most vocal are the fringe on both sides of the spectrum. But there are diverse thinkers here and many post regularly. I don't agree with anyone on everything. But I like to hear opposing viewpoints or angles. It's helped shape my thoughts on politics and hot topic issues.

I do however draw the line at those who are intellectually dishonest. There's no constructive reason to interact.

On the subject he was discussing, I was somewhat familiar with the study, because it came on the heels of the BLM demonstrations/movement.

I remember the person doing the study didn't believe the results could be accurate, so he ran them again with similar results. He then decided to publish the work even though many of his peers told him he shouldn't. I'd encourage you to take a look at the study and the person who lead it. The whole sequence was interesting.

I might do it as I said. The light emission aspect is interesting, doubtful as I am about McBaby's claim. I'm usually a sucker for not just out-of-the-box thinking, but all the way into the other building thinking. Just not when it is obviously BS excuses for bigotry, which I've seen plenty, in just about every form imaginable. And what I said about cop culture in that exchange is factual, light emission notwithstanding.

You do realize what is meant by light emission when he posted it?

Light emission???

Is The Alien having trouble with the spectrum of light and the visual presentation of things which absorb or reflect the spectrum?
Is that being taken as some sort of racist language???

No. Now I do after reading the study. He should have phrased it better. But no matter, I did try to disengage thrice, to no avail. Sp, why not Elsa the matter since I said I won't share my thoughts on the study here?

No, he just didn't get your play on words.

I have a hard time with some puns and play on words.... Part of the way my brain is wired and I can tell when others are struggling. I think that was what was hanging them up from an otherwise straightforward statement.

You mentioned a learning challenge or reading comprehension challenge a while back.

If i ever post anything that misses the mark with you, please let me know.

Here's the thing, I often don't catch it. It just doesn't make sense to me and I move on... LOL.

But I can identify it when others miss it because it's easier for me to see others blindspots than my own.

Edit: but sometimes I ask depending on who it is.

What a freaking moron. Hope he gets the maximum charge possible. I'm sure it is a tragic mistake but if you lack good judgment while prone to act on your (bad) judgment, you are a danger to others and need to be punished as well as removed from society for the safety of others.
