I'm confused. What did magnora do wrong? It seems like they are just stating their opinion or argueing. whichever way you wanna see it.

I was, and this person is now trying to spin it like I did something wrong. Meanwhile the person I was discussing with is trying to change the topic, and say what I'm doing is a "personal attack". Not a good look for OP or chipit, tbh.

People trying to use the pyramid of debate as a weapon to attack others, rather than as a guide to improve discussion. And lying about it too.

Sad.

According to Mag's PoD, one is supposed to address the central point of the post, refute it or counter-argue it, where resorting to an ad-hominem attack against the user because of the perceived characteristics by the replier is only one step above name-calling. Mag refused to address the argument (again, I'm not taking myself a position with or against the OP's image's position) and instead concern-trolls about posting "divisive" content, because he has already made up his mind about the current ongoing "revolution" and anything related to those involved. Mag then posts this nugget in response to OP's initial reply to Mag's initial comment. If that isn't clearly Mag refusing to address the OP's stated position ("Intelligence is a heritable trait") by an ad-hominem and concern-trolling, demanding the argument be met to his point while ignoring his own PoD, and deflecting constantly to his claim that the current multitude of co-opted revolution is contributing to increasing racial tension and divide, I don't know what more I can show you. That whole thread is a fucking mess, and the top-level reply to Mag (and its reply ) are completely ignored by him, despite their contribution to the OP's point and calling him out on his own low-hanging fruit top-level comment to OP.

This site is supposed to be better than this, but there has been a marked abandonment of the Pyramid of Debate since the riots broke out, especially by Mag's own "crusade of truth" for lack of a better term, and a handful of powerusers own "crusades of truth" dealing with the purported reasons behind the ongoing riots.

I said I was confused and that was your response...now I'm extra confused.

Well, if South Park has taught me anything, it's that you must now acquit.
