Someone misunderstood math and claimed that more people voted “uncommitted” than had voted for Biden in “last year’s” election.
Someone else explained the misunderstanding, and the real explanation (that the “uncommitted” number was higher than Biden’s margin over Trump, not Biden’s total).
The mod of the liberty place replied “This is a false statement and reeks of debatebro. Please remove this from your comment.”
I’ll let the rest speak for itself; exactly what you think happened happened.
I kid. What you said sounded fine to me actually; you said something wrong, someone called you out, you said “okay you are right” but defended your overall point which I think was pretty legitimate, there was a little hostility from both sides, the end.
I had nothing to do with the conversation btw, I just observed it. But my comment here was more calling out the mod for telling people directly that they needed to revise their comments to be according to his liking, and deleting them when they weren’t, peeking out from behind a fig-leaf of it being because of the hostility instead of the viewpoint that was being expressed.
There was an entertaining little exchange here.

As a mathematician, I find that proficiency in the art and self-consistency tend to be correlated.
I understood the math you ass, I just misspoke.
I haven’t read the discussion in question, and I don’t know you. I am speaking of a trend I noticed that is relevant to what I was told, nothing more.
Imagine leaving your safety net to come to another thread and say this
I just … saw this thread lol, it was very bizarre and surprising to see
It wasn’t a misunderstanding, I just misspoke and I already explained that. This is weird.
Ah yes, “misspoke.”
