DH0, then DH3. You can do better!

I would be inclined to agree with you. Yes, my post was reactionary, but I don't really feel like expending much effort on an article that calls Jeff Atwood a white supremacist. Sometimes my patience runs thin.

Of course, that's just a footnote. But they're calling forth a long tradition of an entire academic field, 'postcolonialism,'[1] which specifically discusses things like how currency, culture, and language were used by colonialist powers in order to subjugate native peoples in their colonies.

I will agree that they didn't provide very much argument there, and I'm not willing to say anything about Jeff's character, but demanding that people only speak English has a history.

I think a flag would have supported your point better than a comment that simply decreases the level of discourse here.

What's particularly funny about the Atwood example is that it's used in an article complaining about heterosexual (among other adjectives) men. I'm about 75% sure I remember Atwood writing about having a boyfriend.

Technically, your post is probably only DH2.

Yup! The problem is, without a more substantial statement, it's very hard to actually refute, because there's basically nothing there. This is why discussions don't work very well when they aren't far up the hierarchy.
