I knew you'd comment on this. You seem to show up on all stories about gender & race differences.

Anyways, note the part where I say "I'd feel better about these studies if they could somehow account for these outside influences." Without accounting for those factors, these studies are at best 50/50.

EDIT: I also knew the downvote-brigade would be right there with you to destroy my reply the moment I submitted it. 3 downvotes in 10 seconds.

Maybe it because you become personal instead of bringing arguments?

This. It creates a very unpleasant atmosphere when you comment on someone's posting history in a negative way, which is not relevant to the topic.

We should be able to debate a topic without bringing in other people's motivations or character.
