Personal evidence is anecdotal, I never said it wasn't? There is nothing wrong with someone sharing a personal story to add to the discussion was my point.. Which I thought I made clearly.

Ah yes, 'being cautious about dog breds bred over a hundred years of more for violent traits is much the same argument as being cautious about black people' false equivalence again.

    Right, but you were dismaying people who refute your anecdotes "because it doesn't fit their narrative", which is a perfectly valid thing to do with anecdotal evidence, as it is itself an attempt to build a narrative.

    being cautious about dog breds bred over a hundred years of more for violent traits is much the same argument as being cautious about black people*' false equivalence again.

    Racist would often say the similar things about black people in America. Slavery lasted well over a hundred years and slave owners would often have slaves who were brought up to be prize fighters.

    No, I wasn't. I was pointing out how pathetic it is that people downvote comments that they don't like because it doesn't fit their narrative - downvotes are for comments that don't add to the discussion, and personal stories are absolutely valid.

    Am I writing in a coded language that's hard to decipher?

    Lol, what are you the mayor of reddit? You don't get to decide how people utilize this platform.
