I like how you totally ignored my actual argument and wasted your effort trolling my comment history for any non sequitur comment you could find, all while once again completely ignoring the meat of my arguments. Are you familiar with the “fallacy fallacy”?

Please do not do tit-for-tat flamewars on HN, regardless of how right you are or how wrong the other person is. When two commenters get locked in an aggressive dance like this, the quality of the thread drops sharply, and no one else is interested.

Your take would mean that anti-black racism would not be against the rule in r/blackpeopletwitter. I don't think that's what reddit meant. I think reddit meant either the majority on reddit or the majority in the US (reddit being a US based site that mostly discusses American politics).

But you don't seem capable of following the guidelines here, and I'm not interested in your style of debate. Let's just move on.

You seem pretty set on assigning your own arbitrary meaning to words that are pretty clearly delineated by reddit in the policy update. It doesn’t matter one teenay bit what you think reddit meant. There is a huuuuuuge amount in diversity in reddit’s countless sub communities, and it is clear just from the text that I posted above that they aren’t referring to reddit on the whole with this new policy.

By the way, your comments have been flagged as well as mine, meaning you are apparently just as incapable of following the guidelines here as myself. I’m not just going to “move on”, I’m still waiting for you to bring a well-reasoned argument to the table rather than personal attacks.
