Opinion of Link

[Linus Van Pelt]

Link might have been the worst poster even without the issues that led directly to his banning. Threads were regularly destroyed by his intervention on account of his combination of extreme aggression with bizarre non-sequiturs that seemed to display an exceptional lack of critical thinking or reading comprehension ability.

My favorite was when Tender Branson asked something like "why do Black people in the US have different accents" and then Link aggressively accused him of claiming that "all Black people sound the same". But obviously "the A's are different from the B's in some respect" is not the same as "the A's are all the same in that respect". Galaxies are bigger than molecules; does this mean all galaxies are the same size? He also seemed to have no understanding of is/ought distinctions, and many posters had the bizarre experience of claiming that something shouldn't happen only to be attacked by Link on the supposed grounds that one would have to be naive to think it didn't happen.
