I have a politically incorrect question. What channel do I post that in?

irc2k: most channels have rules about this. Ask their channel ops if it's appropriate.

thumbs: I'll just ask the question and if I get banned I'll know
thumbs 2017-03-04 18:38:24
sigh

thumbs: channel is useless to me if I get banned anyway, so there's no loss. I'm just skipping 1 step.

consider the alternative: focusing on constructive questions and discussions.

thumbs: exactly, that's EXACTLY what I want to do. For example, I genuinely wonder whether there's a connection between feminism and below average IQ. Now, this is a legitimate psychological question. It's a question that has a measurable answer. But no... people will then assume answers (such as that there is no such correlation) and simply ban you and that's it.

irc2k: I'd say it's a pretty derogative and provocative question.
irc2k 2017-03-04 18:43:55
thumbs: it's not.
irc2k 2017-03-04 18:44:06
thumbs: it's a neutral scientific one.
irc2k 2017-03-04 18:44:45
thumbs: you're wrong and I'm right about that. The question itself is simply a matter of statistics, nothing else. Don't put things that doesn't belong there, such as "that's provocative" and "derogative".
irc2k 2017-03-04 18:45:09
thumbs: I could find your face offensive... that's arbitrary.
irc2k 2017-03-04 18:45:16
thumbs: and it's literally dumb.

Most people don't get their opinions from statistics.
