Thinking Critically About Social Justice

Sometimes people do not downvote individual comments, but rather a sequence of comments. More specifically, there might be behavior that is only apparent when looking at multiple comments that justifies the downvoting, even if the actual downvote happens to be applied to an individual comment.

In this case, in the span of two comments, the poster went from:

>Do people actually argue in favor of equality of outcomes? Can't say I've ever seen this done, but then again I haven't seen everything.

to arguing in favor of equality of outcomes.

Individually, both of these posts are fine; but together are problematic.

So either this is a troll, or it's an example of someone so "ideologically possessed" they think they're justified to lie in pursuit of their goals.

I'm disappointed that you've marked me as someone with an ulterior motive. If I have a logical inconsistency, feel free to point that out without making assumptions about my intentions.

Okay, sorry, I left out the possibility that you're just mistaken. So you're mistaken. There, fixed it for people who actually read carefully.

We need you to dial back the thorniness, please. These tit-for-tats are unfortunately activating for the (very few) participants and noise for everyone else.
