Default Parents' Views on Violence Guide Child's Behavior

To the reader:

If you have made it a practice to read research reports you know that
each and every one, that has any peer credibility, will include a
paragraph or two with caveats as to the limitations of the research (no
study can explore all the possibilities, realistically) and suggestions
for further research by others, or sometimes even plans to expand their
own into the areas listed as limitations.

Don't let yourself be fooled by harassing posters who think that the
normal limitations of all research negate the validity of the one you
are viewing.

It's just childish harassment, nothing more.

No argument offered in rebutal of the study. No other studies offered.

In other words, no debate or argument, just harassment.

Researchers ignore these, rightly so, but do respond to thoughtful and
reasonable criticism, as we have seen in the past in this ng, from
citation.

My advice if you wish to really get into this issue without losing your
way?

Ignore those that harass and "debate" on fine points of what some
poster might have or might not have meant.

And in so doing, avoiding the subject under discussion.

The study cited is what it is. No attempt to make it prove or support
something not in evidence in the study itself was intended. Attempts to
make it look that way by copy and pasting sections of the report sans
context are nothing more than harassment, not worthy of further comment
than to point out the low moral and ethical standards of those that do
such things.

Have a great day.
