If this is your level of understanding of logic, reason, and debate, how are you even able to tie your own shoelaces?

Normally you'd be right about how you can't prove something doesn't exist, but if you go up thread you'll see that xcrunner claimed that the laptop contained only dick-pics. It's fair for Alvah to ask for proof.

Had xcrunner simply asked for proof the burden would be on Alvah to provide it, but because xcrunner made a claim he took the burden of proof on himself.

Contain possible evidence? How do you know that?

There are 128k+ emails, many about the Biden's business dealings. I say 'possible evidence' because it hasn't been investigated yet. https://bidenlaptopemails.com/ We also know that the emails, or at least many of them, are valid. The signatures, made years before the leaks, check out. https://blog.erratasec.com/2020/10/yes-we-can-validate-leake...

Ok the emails are valid, why are you assuming a crime was committed?

I didn't say that I did. The scope of "corrupt dealings" is much wider than the scope of illegal dealings.

It contains possibly legal things that the voters might find to be a turn-off, such as the ne'er-do-well son selling access to his dad in his official position.

Source? Be specific. I’ve only seen links reported that were dick pics.

Source that the FBI/Dems/etc only sent dick-pic links to be censored, or proof that the laptop leak contained more than dick pics? Earlier in this thread you made a claim that the leak was only dick pics, have you read a source which claimed that, or is it only that you haven't seen a source talk about anything else? There're these, many of which are verified: https://bidenlaptopemails.com/ I don't know the entire co…

We are taking about Twitter and all the censorship you’re on about. So obviously it should be things reported to twitter to remove.

Excuse me? No I didn’t.

I was never discussing the leaks. I was discussing what Twitter took down (aka what was reported to them).

And you're limiting this to only things disclosed during the Elon Twitter-files?

Because Jack Dorsey said to congress that they blocked the NYPost story because of reports by the dems and the FBI. The NYPost's story didn't have porn thus they reported at least some non-porn links.

We've known the broad strokes of this for quite a while and it's just the emails and chat logs of the conspirators that we're seeing for the first time now.

In all fairness, that's the whole point of the block feature - to avoid interaction with people you don't want to interact. I'm definitely off an opinion that people should block and mute as much as possible to sanitize their social media exchanges. After all, how often do people turn around on strangers that were worthy of a block?

People who wants to create their bubble chamber shouldn’t be in open social networks, IMO. Sure, you can say that it’s personal preference. Block feature is like a knife and should be used responsibly when someone has malintent and harassment. It should not be used to suppress opposing argument in respectful debates. To add insult to injury, Lex continues to deceive the public that he is all about loving everyone and…

I disagree, nobody is entitled to my time. I think exercising control over your social interaction is really the only way to stay healthy. If you plug into the matrix and just consume everything thrown at you, you'll surely be overwhelmed as attacks are ifninitely cheaper than rebutals.

I think CEO that understand the importance of social sanitization would be a good thing.
