[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8502689, member: 6778210"] I'd have to know the specific context of the situation. Talking about hypotheticals that you can modify to immediately fit whatever situation you want is useless. Because the reduction itself [I][B]is absurd. [/B][/I]That we do it to one thing, what's to stop us from doing it to everything? Why, [B][I]everything else. [/I][/B]I mean, I suppose more accurate to claim that it's a slippery slope, which you'll probably say is also "a kind of argument", but misses that it also often used fallaciously. Which is why you judge it on the context and don't make absurd slippery slope projections. I don't find it useful to argue about "how far you go" when I can only know when I hit the situation. It's a necessary but not sufficient solution. But you're mixed and being coy: what's the argument against a disclaimer? I want to know, because you have yet to actually give one. I'm not baiting you, [I]you're saying it without saying it[/I]. I mean, how else does one take that statement? No, not really. Again, there's a difference in expression and justification, and you're just trying to remove all context to make it seem more even when it isn't. People being reactive because they think they are being called racist when they aren't isn't the same as people being offended by legitimately racist content. [/QUOTE]
