Apolyton debate strategies

[Flubber]

Hey!!! no need to insult the lawyers . . .

If leaving the field means victory to the opponent, I will lose every discussion or debate I ever have on apolyton. I am rarely here often or long enough to see a debate conclude.

Then again . . . I don't care if I " win" or " lose" anyway-- I'll make a point or two and head on my way. Its hardly worth the time on most issues to try to sway someone who is too stubborn, naive, dense, or ideologically committed to their viewpoint.

I think I fall in the 'provides sources' section.

UR just lets inconvenient threads sink.

What about the endless threadjack strategy?

As a way to end all debate, begin some threadjack which will sap all the enemies resources, thus denying them victory? now, one you innitiate the threadjack, you must use one of the already stated strategems, since if you continually just switch topics, you risk Utter and Total Annahilation by the Minganator.

You're being mean to me just because I'm Jewish.

What, no at the end of that?

Taking it a bit serious, no?

Has anybody mentioned the Skeptic Debator? Every point one person makes has to have an appropriate citation, and if it's from a source the Skeptic Debator doesn't like (often Fox News) a second "non-biased" source is required.

I'd check, but I can't be bothered to look through all these posts.

Source?

[Agathon]

People who think Fox news is a serious source need to stop smoking crack.

[Asher]

The only thing worse than citing something like Fox News are the people who whine about how it's not a reliable source, while they themselves don't have anything to counter it other than rhetoric about how they don't like the source.
