I thought he just ignored inconvenient points instead of doing that.

True Obiwan - the same goes if you ask a question that is never answered by your opponent. Then again it may be a really hard question that you yourself can't answer, but that doesn't stop you asking them it.

Here's one of Drake T's: "The take-everything-your-opponent-says-as-a-serious-and-sober-assertion-of-or-argument-for-their-actual-belief strategy"

Witness his response to my sarcastic appraisal of Fox News. I hate Fox news, but I obviously have other reasons than the hypothetical drugged derangement of its fans to go on.

[Ming]

Let's not make this a name calling thread...

[Agathon]

Sorry Ming. How about a "sarcasm" or "whimsical" emoticon that can be appended to any post implying a joke or ironic statement? I'd append these to the majority of my posts, especially on this thread.

Anyway, I reserve name calling solely for Berzerker because he so evidently deserves it, the cad.

[Sirotnikov]

Ming, I wanted to clear up my opinions about people whose names were called in relation to an accusation of anti-semitism.

i think that this would infact clear up alot of name calling, instead of making accusations.

if this does not go with your policy - erase this.

Comrade Tribune? MOBIUS?

CT is a very very erm... lost person.

I've actually begun realizing MOBIUS lately, and his latest posts impressed me.

A certain gnu, maybe? Or a Greek with a three-letter username?

the three letter greek is just anarcho-commie.

Albert Speer

from talks in pm, i got the impression he's just pro-pal.

I apologize for my behavior, Agathon. I just have a lot of trouble telling the difference between the absurd statements you really believe and the absurd statements you say jokingly. My bad...

DD:

I just offered an explanation of why people seem to repeat their statements to UR.

Ming:

I'll stop now.

Besides you?

[Ming]

Some people are look for a restriction I see...

Enough...

[Berzerker]

What a thread, Monkspider, Loinburger and Japher nearly made me bust my gut.

But I have another category, the small child strategy. No matter what your opponent claims, just keep asking "why" to everything. And I nominate Ramo, he drives me nuts when we get into guerilla warfare debates and he starts asking why to all my assertions.

[SlowwHand]

What a bunch of crotch rockets.

[Berzerker]

Is that like a red rocket?

[SlowwHand]

In a worse-case scenario, I guess it could be.
