Now, in Catlabs' defense, I really don't care what demographic the company or poster falls in. Sure, there may be curiosity, but it is immaterial to the discussion as far as I'm concerned, and can lead to fallacy arguments.
I do not object to the claims of bias, nor do I refute it's existence.
What I take exception to is articles with poor scientific methods, misinterpretation/misrepresentation, judging people as being prejudiced solely by virtue of their gender/skin tone, and word versus deed.
These threads no longer frustrate me; rather, I am beginning to find them quite amusing.
However, I'm sure if we all took the time, we could probably find some common footing regarding Catlabs' comments. At the moment, one extreme statement will beget comments at opposite extremes. I seriously doubt any of use believe bias does not exist - I think the question is the extent, and whether it has been getting better (and I'm sure our older community members can attest that is has been).
Taking some time to deal with similarities and find common ground may spawn a more constructive conversation on the subject.
