Teacher:In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: threat and non-threat. Threat is a statement that someone will be hurt or harmed, especially if the person does not do something in particular.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Comment: TWY: I've re-read your posts and think I now better understand what upsets you. Ms Collins' choices on her little humor piece/quiz fall into two categories: foolish things Mr. Trump "might have said" (but didn't) and foolish things Mr. Trump "might have said".....and actually DID SAY. I do agree with you; often it's really hard to tell the difference between the two. The
"wrong answers"....things he didn't really say, are really foolish and you find yourself saying to yourself "hey, no one would really say or do something this foolish"....but among the choices there's one he actually said or did...and it's just as foolish as those she "made up." Fortunately, Ms Collins provides the "answer sheet", so you can spot the genuine foolishness among the "fake" foolishness. Face it, TWY, your guy, Trump, says many very, very foolish things. that's not Ms. Collins fault. Gary Crum
