I've attacked no one, except you, whom I'm calling a troll: troll.

With this post you have nowhere to go but up.
quote:
In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages
Internet troll - Wikipedia
Now who does that sound like on this topic?
Now do you care to post something relevant?
I agree with RAZD and Dr. Adequate on the quality of Eddie's post. Why you decided to jump in and attack the good Dr is beyond me. It was very trollish behaviour. My post was an attempt to show you that you were participating in the same behaviour that you condemned on the same post. Now here you go again and troll while accusing me of trolling. I was hoping to prod you into improving your posts, but as I said before.
Please stop the personal attacks. It devalues you and any argument you try to make. But then again if that is all you have.
Maybe you might want to actually address the meat of my post, which actually goes to the heart of the topic.

Do you feel Eddie made a good post? If so why? Or does it just fit with your particular racist feelings and ideas?
Before you claim I made an ad hominem attack, remember everyone has racist feelings and ideas.
But if you don't want to I guess I see why.
BTW
Nice to see correct use of Whom.

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If all someone can say about another's post is that it's bad, then they should refrain from hitting the "reply" button.

Thanks.

Jon, isn't that a condemnation of the entire sub thread that you started. If you are correct, when someone replies to a bad post with another bad post, then the best thing to do is leave it alone.
I personally don't have any problem with someone being called on a post that reaches the level of silliness of the one in question here.

What sub thread that I started? I was jumping into a discussion of Eddie's post and Dr. A's reply to it that was already in progress.

The sub thread that deals solely with discussing Dr A's response. I don't see one iota of discussion about the content of Eddie's post in this sub thread.

ya know the internet is crawlin' with vicious vipers & trolls
under anonymous cover tryin' to demoralize your souls.
every day on some page there's some new fool's jaw flappin'
an' if you're lookin' for any respect there, heh, it's not gonna happen.
if you're tryin' to make nice, ya get an uppercase bitch-slappin'

Re: Super Predator Myth -- and it' s legacy today
But I don't see that you've shown that this "superpredator" myth applies in these situations.
And I don't see any point in arguing with you when you have made your mind up. You see neither the forest nor the trees.
Enjoy.
and Happy New Year

Re: "Black Lives Matter"
You're making no sense. The first person to discuss Dr A's reply was Eddie.
If you can't manage to follow five posts of discussion, then perhaps you should restrict your Internet socializing to liking stuff on Facebook.

There's no mind to be made up.
Without evidence for your position, you've got nothing.
And no one owes your position of nothing an ounce of attention.

True, but the first person to discuss Discuss Dr. A's reply was you. That post and its follow on posts constitutes a sub thread.

Re: Super Predator Myth -- and it' s legacy today
Maybe you noticed that "police officerS" is plural in my sentence and also in yours. So no, you can't demonstrate it in every singular police officer but yes, you can demonstrate it in plural police officerS - because it exists in EVERYBODY. It just happens to show up more often in police officers than in janitors because janitors don't often have the power to act out on their unconscious feelings.
You have to demonstrate it in either case and so far there has been no evidence whatever that racism has motivated any police action whatever, singular or plural. You claim it is so but you give no evidence.

Re: "Black Lives Matter"
I agree with Jon. Dr. A's post was basically an ad hominem, why are you all defending him? Eddie's post was no masterpiece but he made a few points that nobody else has made here.

Nope. That'd 've been RAZD.
Have you even read the posts in question?

Re: Super Predator Myth -- and it' s legacy today
Your lack of self awareness is astounding. You seem willing to jump in the middle of other conversations and then accuse people of things your yourself are doing.
I need to ask again do you have anything constructive to add to this thread?
Also, it seems if I make an on topic comment you ignore it completely.

What about this subject makes you incapable of acting rationally?
