RE: STEEM: The Disproportionate Power Balance with Downvotes

I agree, claims should be examined by themselves

Well that's encouraging.

It explains that an ad hominem isn't fallacious if the position the other has implicates their character/ motivations etc.

The only "problem" being that you can never know "their character" or "motivations" etc, due to your EPISTEMOLOGICAL LIMITS.

And even the most morally repulsive, malevolent person can still make a perfectly valid logically sound statement.

Their moral repulsiveness and malevolence do not magically invalidate their logic.

I only need to Judge them based on what I know about them,

I admire your faith in sample-bias.

...above all else a matter of Ability to Judge Correctly, not just to judge Logically.

Please teach me to "Judge Correctly" without logic.
