A powerful anonymous letter from a UC Berkeley professor condemned by his department and flagged by Medium. "Floyd was a multiple felon who once held a pregnant black woman at gunpoint. Americans are being socially pressured into kneeling for this violent, abusive misogynist." SPICY! Share it!

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

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

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?

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.

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

One could sell one's username in theory. Happens on reddit all the time.

They did recently celebrate a high "karma" number.

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.
