So by this reasoning, if commenter responded with a emphatic "Am not!", that would somehow validate he's not a CCP agent?

His response was a link to support a contentious claim which is that the security threat is overstated. That's a reasonable position.



[flagged]


A flawed assumption: A new account does not mean it's a throwaway. The heretofore anonymous user may simply have found a topic worth commenting on. Secondly, my user is over 6 years old and I've not made any comments in favor or against the CCP in my entire history. I simply commented on what I find to be a logical fallacy. So I'm curious what you base your assumptions on.


Then why has every person questioning this account has been Silenced by flagging?


This is another fallacy as proven by the fact your comment, while downvoted, still exists. But even if it were true, I wouldn't know the reason and neither would you.
