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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
