Why is the slant of the source relevant?

This is the opinion of one person.

I tabled it to invite dissenting voices to offer sensible and rational critiques of the premise not petty and bitter ideologues who want to silence all dissonant viewpoints even when they may have more than a shred of truth value.

There are plenty of such people on sites like Gawker.

I thought this place was a platform for sensible and intellectually upright discussion.

Well, that one person is a polite racist and is using tactics from concern trolling to push their racist agenda; that person isn't wanting to engage in an intellectually rigorous discussion.

We ignore the trolls here.[1]
