      Ppl take such huge leaps. They make connections in their own minds from one view to a whole field of others & argue against them.

      Not once did I claim to have knowledge of whether criminality is heritable or a prescription for what to do abt it & in fact, I have neither

      After assuming I am claiming this knowledge & prescribing eugenics, he thanked me for the conversation. Had to point out we didn't have one.

      In same way, someone recently decided I was a Trump supporter & Brexiteer coz I said minority groups have diverse political views.

      So, rather than address the issue of political diversity, I was harangued on how I've fucked my country by voting 'leave.' (I didn't)

          Not sure why I get so frustrated & upset by people's abject failures of logical reasoning. It just really depresses me.

          I'm sorry. I did look back to try & ascertain just how it all started and what the grievance was
