Your thoughts, however, are *completely fucking wrong.* Restating them does not give them weight.
I work on a college campus, and if we took all the cameras away, there would not be a single working piece of equipment anywhere in a five mile radius the next morning. You can throw questionable studies cherry-picked from a targeted website at me (although next time if you want to be a little more polite about it I might give an in-depth response), and it won't change that.
I have several friends that work on college campuses and if you leave that shit unattended it's going to walk the fuck off. That doesn't give you the right to videotape my ass. Those studies were commissioned and paid for by the British government. Referring to them as "questionable" and acting dismissive as if you've somehow provided any real evidence for your claims guarantees that I will never be more polite about this. You are wrong. You are baselessly wrong. You are condescendingly wrong. And should you attempt to insinuate that your opinions are somehow facts, I will be right behind you to make you feel bad. That's a promise.
Not trying to be condescending. I just don't feel like having this discussion when you approached it the way you did. If someone speaks to me like that in my daily life, I walk away from them, so I'm figuratively walking away from this. We've had multiple conversations and I think you know I'm not the sort to make baseless claims; I stand by my beliefs on this issue. I read a couple of the studies on the list you linked and skimmed a couple more. I'm not being dismissive of your argument, I'm being dismissive of your manner. That's my right, I think. Sorry. Maybe next time.
