Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)
An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.
Richer people have better health.
The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?
And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.

What people tell me
I've been told anonymously that I get downvoted, because my answers are full of notoriously baseless assumptions which are wrong, and because I have loads of sweeping statements about women, gays, muslims, autistic people, and any other group you can think of. I'm sexist and racist. (I've been accused of being sexist, publicly on a board, with a Quora Admin and paid employee agreeing to it.) They say that everything I do here and my answers, are for the sole purpose of being provocative, with no real desire to help anyone here. That I don't care about anyone, just to be provocative.
Considering how no one can address this on any of my answers, or counteract my answers, this for me, reeks of insecurity. They're jealous at my alleged extremeties and they are deflecting with their conclusions. "Lack of factual accuracy combined with self assurance. Broad combative attitude. Lack of wisdom. Adolscent naivete claiming multiple professions and areas of expertise. Notoriously baseless assumptions." Take your pick. Well I was told I "have a charming sweet lumberjack quality to my words, popular, who can push people's buttons well." I think I know which Anon User said that by their words, and I think it's the same person with reactive attachment disorder, who blocked me, and keeps copying my profile format, each time I update mine. Stalkerish, much?
My crackpot theories full of baseless assumptions aka My Thoughts
So I suppose that this question got inspired by this comment thread where my harmless comment got downvoted for seemingly no reason. Comments don't appear in the Feed or Profile, so the only people who could have downvoted it, were the people who I mentioned. Post by User on UpVote Cabal
That day, I had two people message me to say that everyone on this website was jealous of me, and one of them said why they specifically were. (Four months before that, I had 2 people message me in the same week to say I'm multi-faceted.)
I hadn't been posting answers for 2 months at the time, and my one comment got more attention than everyone's answers combined for the whole month. Also that people told me there was nothing interesting anymore, now that I wasn't answering. My comment there is a slap in the face, and there are people attention seeking to no avail.
Which 2 people I think downvoted my comment.
"Do you know what foster care's like? They make you feel that they love you, then they give you away." I cannot imagine a life without ever feeling love. People who were in foster care, act weird. It's like they're looking for something that they never got. You can catch that person attention seeking every day on Quora, trying to get what I have.
Why I think they're jealous of me.
Why they want to be like me.
So that they can be popular by getting unsolicited attention from others, like I do. People must wonder how I manage to get so much attention here from others, if I keep to myself and don't bother anyone. Is it me as a person, or is it something I'm doing?
I remind people of all the things that they're not. The sort of person I am.
??????????????? (I don't really know, and I'll never know. Above are generalisations.) The key word here is approval. And approval is something they want. They want approval from the Quora Community. The bipolar person also has no approval, as the same people who likes them, unknowingly slates them in their comment replies to their anonymous answers. That person posts erratic anonymous answers, when they're off the rails on a bipolar trip. I'm not the only one here with approval, but somehow my approval is the one that they want. They want approval, and something else that I have.
Whoever asked this question and is following it, is not anyone I've spoken to before.
People were downvoting me way before I got attention here. People were jealous of me way before I got downvoted.
It's just me as a person. I stand out with my supposedly redeeming qualities for whatever reason, I don't know what. It doesn't mean people have to try to ignore me.
So in conclusion...
Just know to have sympathy for the people who are downvoting me, as they are the envious closet admirers, who admire me the most. They have the behavioural disorders. Coincidental, much?
Also know that I can't help being me. I do what I does and I do it because. Any attention I get, I don't mean to get it. I don't intentionally plan these things out in advance.
