Agathon - you actually tend (from 2 or 3 threads i saw of yours) to start flashing personal knowledge rather quickly.
Ex:
Siro: I think that XX
Agathon: Well then you're in disagreement with the YYY theory developed by the ancient TTT as described in the famous OOOO by GGGG. But hey, you asked!
Anyway, at least I'm not like some posters who immediately flash their personal ignorance.Only feebs vote.

What about straying-the-arguement-off-topic attack? I get suckered by those alot. I start by arguing that Black kitty is indeed black and I end up at a disadvantageous position of being accused of having said black men are inferior or something ridiculous..
Or mutiple-topic-arguement-attack.
You start arguing about whether apples are delicious or not, and you're opponent accuses you of having contradicted your own statement. Now you and your buddy ends up arguing accusing/defending the contradictory statement and now all of sudden you have 2 unresolved topic to argue about. Increase the number slowly and you'll soon be confused!
no-response strategy
Has anyone mentioned this? This one drives me nuts if I have them nailed down and they simply dont respond.Last edited by Zero; March 9, 2003, 01:12.:-p

And I think Sandman said Jewish Conspiracy, not conspirator, so you're off the hook, Siro."People sit in chairs!" - Bobby Baccalieri

Miracles, or as determinists call them, coincidences
Hey, it happens. Long, long ago in an Apolyton thread far, far away we (a rabble of theists and freewill/libertarian types) managed to convince Stewart Spink (may he be long remembered) the error of his deterministic ways.Originally posted by MRT144
which leads me to my next point. what is the point of debatng on apolyton if nobody changes their opinions on it or even cares about counter arguements? imran, back me up here.(\__/) Save a bunny, eat more Smurf!

Let me try. We've had Joe, Albert Speer and Luk. That's three that I can name, then I run out of suspects.
People critical of Israeli policies? Quite a lot, but that does not equate to anti-semitism unless you've got one hell of a victim complex.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

Here's one that some people use. Apologies if anyone has listed it.
I suppose one could call it the "questions wind-up".
To the person whom with you are arguing you ask brief questions that demand long replies to which you ask multiple brief questions which demand long replies upon long replies and so on....
If done sensibly this is of course a reasonable way to conduct a debate. On the other hand if your aim is to get your opponent to spend his or her whole day working for your personal amusement producing screeds and screeds of information you have not the slightest intent to respond seriously to, then it is a very bad thing to do.
It is like the "multiplying topics" strategy, but it doesn't really go off topic.Only feebs vote.
