The GP said "conservatives try to build their own platform (Gab)".

The parent said "If Gab is a conservative platform".

This is obviously a reasonable way to interpret the GP's sentence. You're also reasonable to disagree with that interpretation, but you're being unreasonably combative when you accuse the parent of putting words in the GP's mouth.

Because arguing something with your bias to make your argument viable is a form of putting words in people's mouth.

> Gab is an English-language social media platform known for its far-right userbase.[8] The site has been widely described as a "safe haven"[9] for extremists including neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and the alt-right.[10]

From Wikipedia.

OP isn’t putting any words in anyone’s mouth. They are referencing a well known fact about this establishment.

So? The fact that the majority of the userbase is alt-right doesn't make the platform itself conservative.

If tor is known for it's pedophile userbase, does it make the platform itself pedophile?

If the majority of it’s users fit that category then yes.

Then why isn't Tor getting shut down? It's a pedophile platform.

I know why. Because it's not a pedophile platform and Gab is not a conservative platform.

Because the majority of it’s users don’t fit that category.

Earth

No

Why? Majority of Tor users are pedophile.

>If the majority of it’s users fit that category then yes.

One wired article != fact

No

And your reasoning for that? Seriously, playing your word-puzzle is so interesting. I learn so much from you about how to present stupid arguments and get over with it.

Read the thread

Read what thread? can you point a specific thread for me that I can rebut?

Please don't do tedious right-leaning tit-for-tats on HN. I mean right-leaning on the page of course. A pyramid of whitespace to the left is a deadly sign.

Yes

Please don't do this. It damages the site, achieves nothing, and makes you both look bad. What to do instead: be the first to let go.

Thanks dang, apologies. I will be sure to keep that in mind in the future.

Tor is not a platform. Did you even tried to use it?

It's a platform. Why is it not?

I didn't mean to, but "if conservatives try to build their own platform " implies some direction to the platform. they would have said "try to build a platform".

EDIT: my apologies that's what they meant
