Was I having a debate over the 'Bell Curve' with your doppelganger?
Then please explain why you crossed out the content of this post arguing against the pseudoscience of 'bell curve'?

If according to you, pointing out someones bias is 'aggressive', then shouldn't striking out facts you don't agree with also qualify as aggressive?
I crossed out the parts that weren't ad hominems to show the amount of ad hominem you were engaging in. It had nothing whatever to do with the facts you had presented. I'm going to conclude that you must have been having a debate with a doppelganger, one that likely existed solely in your mind, as I never defended the opinions expressed in The Bell Curve. And I pointed out to you the explicit reason for my post when asked immediately after posting it. The notion that I crossed out those portions of your post because I disagreed with them is something you're pulling out of thin air. And given that I immediately clarified my intent gives you no excuse for portraying it otherwise, other than an unjustified hostility toward me for having the audacity to have an opinion which wasn't yours. You want to believe I'm a racist, so you just make up shit, ignoring any contrary evidence or statements.
