The objection is to using "do not want to hear" as a criterion for downvotting, as a matter of board policy, not as an individual tactic. If posters were encouraged to think about how well argued and factual posts are instead observing which way their knees jerked, they would be practicing rationality as they go along, to name but one missed opportunity.
I endorse "downvote what you want less of" as a matter of board policy.
If individuals want less of things they ought to want more of, I endorse opposing the incorrect values of those individuals.
Those are two separate claims, and I oppose entangling them into a single claim, and also oppose further entangling them with "yay rationality! boo bias!" cheerleading.
Downvoted per your request.
Oh good grief! Opposition to bias is a bias ... and transparent is a colour.
I agree with what seems to be your point that opposition to bias isn't a bias.
I have no idea how it connects to anything I said.
Yay rationality, boo bias.
Yes, I (implicitly) described you as cheerleading for that stance.
And I oppose entangling such cheerleading with making substantive claims, as I said.
What does that have to do with opposition to bias not being a bias?
(Which, again, I agree that it isn't, I'm just not following your point. If you're not interested in explaining yourself further, that's fine too, we can drop it here.)
Aren't we all supporting that state here?
I'm not sure which "state" you're talking about. You seem to be being deliberately obscure, and I no longer have any confidence that we're at all able to communicate, and am now recalling that this was true the last time we interacted as well. Tapping out here.
