Does anybody else not understand the sarcasm at work?
Is it JUST fxashun?

Secondly, I just have to define "anecdote" for him...
anecdote:
a usually short narrative of an interesting, amusing, or biographical incident

NONE of the evidence you have posted is "anecdotal".
As a black man, if fxashun can't understand why "anecdotal" evidence is flawed in making summary judgment about MILLIONS of people based on a "biographical incident" or even a collection of them, then I am astounded...


I originally stopped posting on DtT because of one troll, and another poster who had the capacity for intellectual debate but reveled in acting trollish.
And he's doing it again now.
I've already explained what I was saying, but the fact that he repeatedly refuses to acknowledge it and ridiculously insists that I be able to "defend" a statement I have repeatedly stated was sarcastic is absurd.
Fxashun obviously understands what an analogy is, but repeatedly ignores them with lame excuses, thus completely ignoring the argument at hand.

I repeatedly see that most people trounce fxashun's arguments, and then leave him to wallow when he can't get why he's been exposed.
And for some reason, I stick around and try to explain to him why he's lost...

Fxashun, if you're going to prove yourself unworthy of discussion by failing to comprehend simple analogies, I think I should take that to heart...
