How NOT to debate...
    #2357602 - 02/20/04 01:04 AM (20 years, 1 month ago)

I ran into this just tonight.
For me, it's an articulation of all the bullshit conversational tactics used by lesser minds.  Now you can know exactly how a bullshitter annoys you. :wink:

"How to" comes from consciously NOT applying any of the tactics above while still conversing.  It's really not that hard.  We're doing it right now.  :wink:

I like this list, perhaps you, or anyone could give a short example of each thing listed, so we can understand it better. I understand about half of them like: start a story, reverse the question, so on, but what do these mean:HEAT-SEEKING QUESTION, BOMBAST, PRETEND AD HOMINEM, and theres a few more but I will settle with those. thx

Excuse me, sir, but you are using cruel tactics; you are making us bullshitters look HORRIBLE DUDE!!

I'd call that a "cheap-shot" to we shitters of bull


--------------------
Insert an "I think" mentally in front of eveything I say that seems sketchy, because I certainly don't KNOW much. Also; feel free to yell at me.

I guess that is how a majority of the people mass debate. It comes in handy when you can't score any other way. Such arguements are really discuss-ting.
