They argue that you should only consider the argument they're making in the thread they're currently in, and not that three comments before they were calling somebody a "cum-guzzling faggot" in a racist sub for interrupting the circlejerk.
EDIT: But you're right—I garbled that syntax. I need a Reddit editor for late night posting.

FWIW, I didn't have any problems parsing it.

Well in that case I'd have to say I disagree with you. Past comments should have no bearing on current arguments, unless the argument in question is very obviously and extremely biased by said comments (admittedly this could be the case with many of the white rights types).
Your position is actually a logical fallacy, of which I currently can't remember the name; it's the dismissal of an argument because of other positions the arguer holds, rather than the merit of the argument itself.

I went to his post history because I was mad that I had no real argument against what he said and then i saw that he called someone a bad name one time so I am therefor right!
