How so? What are you thinking?
Additionally, it is interesting that you left out the "if". What was the thought process there?
> called me a dog when I provided sources.
I likened you to a dog wanting to pointlessly please its master. Call it berating if you will, but that is the behavior I see dogs exhibit and that is the behavior I observed here. I'm sure you have data to contradict my understanding, but to the extent of the understanding I have, that is simply a factual account.
> You're wondering why people make the housing decisions they do
I asked what others thought about it.
> but unwilling to actually engage in looking at the actual data of job opportunities, home values, etc.
This wouldn't indicate what others thought about it. There is a place for looking at the data, but that would happen independently and wouldn't carry into a discussion. Different tools for different jobs.
You don't see how stating someone has limited thought capacity is berating. You don't see how being called a dog is berating. And now you're suggesting I see you as my master, wow. You might want to re-evaluate what people would commonly find berating. Go discuss that with others and see what you find out.
