Hey quick question, what the fuck are you talking about?
The other guy started this.
I responded with a list of things that they do
I responded with why I didn't need evidence to make my point, then provided it anyway.
Maybe I could be perceived as snarky and mean, but I suspect the commenter suggesting the removal of diversity, equity, and inclusion offices in places where we shape the future of our society might not be sincerely posing the question.
Literally the 2nd highest upvoted comment on this post and the first response to the commenter is me doing just that
My point is mostly this: are we here to discuss and provide information or throw paper at each other. The comment you responded to wasn't one I agreed with either ,but it was based on their opinion and (imo) not worth arguing because opinions are subjective. It is worth considering becasue they are telling you about their personal, if ancesdotal, experience.
So when people completely miss the opportunity for conversation about something that appears controversial, and rather pile on because they are daring to have an opinion..... well ya , I say something.
I've been around long enough to see institutional thinking crush community and conversation and I don't like it. So there is my subjective opinion and feedback.
