Interesting. How do we know it is really from a UCB professor though?

      Most of the hate crimes in the US are hoaxes. There is such a crippling shortage of hate crimes leftists have to create their own. They get caught doing it all the time. You don't know about it? That's the power of a censoring media.

      I see. Thanks for the informative response.

      That's the way! Don't address any of the arguments. Attack the speaker! That's the lowest level of the Pyramid of Debate!

      Berkeley is currently engaged in a furious effort to identify and purge the wrongthinker. We should know his identity in a few days when they fire him.

      You are confused. I actually really like what was written.

      What's wrong with asking why we believe this was a UCB professor?

      [–]Chipit[S] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (15 children)

      Address the arguments, not the arguer.

      Do you have anything to say about George Floyd's pointing a gun at a pregnant woman's belly?

      You are either a low intelligence human or a moderately convincing bot.

      I thought IQ was a fallacy?

      Please address arguments. So, so many personal attacks on me. Because you can't make counter-arguments.

      [–]whereswhat 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

      Re-read the thread. You are the only one arguing here.

      [–]Tigerbitecrazy 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      I hate trying to have a dialogue with Chipit. He always thinks you're trying to argue....even when you are just trying to verify that the source is legitimate. He's the type of person who doesn't want to have a true dialogue, he wants to argue and won't concede until you adopt his viewpoint. He has a lot of good posts but he doesn't understand how to talk with people online...

      [–]magnora7 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (10 children)

      Are you a bot? Did you actually read what he said? He's agreeing with you, about the topic of discussion, and asking an additional question.

      And instead you change the topic, and then accuse him of not arguing the point (a rule which you yourself did not follow in the very next sentence)

      I don't think you're arguing genuinely, you seem to be just attacking others and changing the topic to avoid having to answer any questions about the thing you posted. Please follow the pyramid of debate.

      [–]FormosaOolong 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

      I suspect Chipit is a bot. Maybe didn't start that way but is now--is that a thing?

      They did recently celebrate a high "karma" number.

      [–]Chipit[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      Oh look, dehumanizing rhetoric! Boy, that doesn't have a dark history at all!

      I used to get angry when people made personal attacks instead of arguments. It frustrated me to no end. But now, I just grin. Personal attacks are me winning. If people had actual arguments, they would use them. But they don't. All they've got is "DURR HURR UR A BOT LOL" which is nothing but an attempt to remove a person's humanity. An attempt to dismiss good points by using the lowest level of the pyramid of debate.

      [–]whereswhat 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

      Ha. I actually did not see this before writing my reply. Great minds...

      [–]magnora7 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (4 children)

      Ha funny. Yeah I'm getting sick of him dragging discussion down the pyramid of debate, while simultaneously accusing others of doing the same. It's his go-to move.

      [–]whereswhat 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

      Agreed. I feel sorry for him though (if he is human). Can't be fun to be so consumed with anger.

      [–]magnora7 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      Yeah seriously, I agree

      [–]Chipit[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

      How did I do that? I get personal attacks all the freaking time. I speak an inconvenient truth, and instead of addressing it and refuting it (because they can't) instead I get an insult in return.

      I mean, come on, CONSUMED WITH ANGUR WHARRRAGARBL. That's not an argument.

      [–]whereswhat 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      Again. You are the only one arguing here. I was agreeing with you.

      [–]thefadd 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

      For the record, I actually think this is a fair and contributory comment. It's just done with a complex use of sarcasm which shouldn't be an issue.

      To be completely unsarcastic, I think a lot of people here have a certain way of thinking and aren't open to ChipIt's intelligent, but inhibited manner of self-expression.

      [–]Tigerbitecrazy 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

      You can't be serious....or is this more if the high-intellect sarcasm you were referring to. It's not contributing anything...he's dodging the question about verifying the source and trying to argue while shouting about how we aren't adding to the conversation.

      [–]thefadd 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      I'm saying you lack the intellectual capacity to play at this level.

      You are in a very tiny little pyramid. ChipIt and I are at a different level.

      If there's a fucking pyramid, then I have a right to be exercised at the pyramid size that I can perform to.

      [–]whereswhat 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

      I am confused by this comment. Do you mean to say ChipIt was justified in lashing out?

      [–]thefadd 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

      No -- I don't think /u/ChipIt lashed out at all.

      [–]whereswhat 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      Please read my other replies.

      ChipIt and I are on the same side here. I cannot imagine why you would hold that opinion if you actually understood that.

      [–]Canbot 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      In yet another example of how absolutely pathetic and impotent universities have become UC Berkely put out a tweet simply denying that this was a professor without addressing anything that was said in the letter. Their bias is so transparent. Their lack of integrity so blaring. I think it is safe to say that Universities have fallen as a pillar of society. No one with any intelligence can look to an organization like this with anything but disgust.

      Ooooh, it's women's rights Vs black rights! I love it when "minorities" fight amongst themselves! Just as George Soros planned...
