Shifting and Concerning Moods Regarding the Writing

[Alec97]

Generalisations, especially those founded on nothing but a subscription to your questionable criteria, are meaningless; they're self-serving, deeply flawed, highly subject to personal bias and subsequently, more often than not, completely wrong, and I'm amazed I should even have to point that out and why as a result they have no place in an honest discussion. I also shouldn't have to explain why it's condescending and entirely irrelevant to use such poorly pre-conceived notions to make any sweeping judgement about an aspect of someone's attributes in an argument. For all that you are trying to paint me as an injured party and yourself as the rational one here, your posts surprisingly lack relatively basic logic.

Funnily enough, half of that conversation you're referring to is missing because of the way that particular individual wound up responding to several posters in that thread. I'd suggest familiarising yourself with his history before you use that to make even more poor judgements based on selective and limited evidence. I frequently debate with other people here, and I greatly enjoy it. Still, I have no interest in opinions offered without thought or respect for the other party, nor maintaining a sense of decorum when absolutely none is shown in kind.

And for the record, hearing about bigotry from someone who considers an entire population of people intellectually beneath them because, to your mind, they're not sufficiently cognisant of the effects of Confucianism or Plato on media might be the winner for the grossest lack of self-awareness shown on these forums, and that's quite the accomplishment, I have to say. But to humour you: do I have a prejudice against people who think life is unfair? No. Do I take issue with using that attitude to justify poor behaviour towards others? Absolutely.

I love how you assume that it's my own internalised criteria. This has been a massive concern across education for the past 20 years, especially around things such as funding, staffing, and grading attainment compared to private models, trying to bridge the gap in trying to promote a more equitable society. The falling grade standard and grade inflation compared to previous models were grades used to be far more challenging to achieve and expected a lot more, classes have been streamlined, and what was on offer has shrunk, etc. We have even seen the collective overall IQ in the younger generations decrease by around 5 points, which is enormous because it's the best-determining factor of future success. In generations with far smaller cohorts, it's incredibly worrying because that means we are producing smaller amounts of people who are less intelligent than their parents. This has been a trend since the '80s and even the post-World War II generations have very few outstanding thought leaders compared to generations before and post-WW1.

It's clear that you have disdain for people who you beleive are antithetical to your values. That entire conversation was someone telling you that you don't listen, you project your internal flaws on them, label them things they aren't. Then, double down on your vulgar attitude while acting like a righteous individual, and even if they responded to you, it wouldn't matter because you had already made your mind up and wouldn't listen.

The only person here who has received poor treatment is you because you took issue with one point in a massive post and then continued to make it about yourself because you have internalised problems. Get help.
