The art of debating

I love debating… and I love logic.
If you, my fellow KMC-debaters once in a while feel like banging your head against the wall, it may be because your opponent is wading in so called logic fallacies.

This site offers an introduction to good debating and the logic fallacies, and is presented here for your general entertainment and use big grin
http://www.infidels.org/news/atheism/logic.html


I’m now on the verge of making a competition to see who can find the most logic fallacies in a post…

Actually, though I agree with about 10% of what she says, The Omega is one of the most pleasant debators to go up against. She does not resort to name-calling, and doesn't act like the world is going to blow up if she doesn't get in the last vulgar insult. It's a genuine priviledge to debate with The Omega.

Only problem, she doesn't use the quote function and instead puts your name and a couple of arrows, so you had better remember what you said or be prepared to scroll through the entire thread!

Why, thank you.
(That's just because I'm yet to figure out how to quote more than one person in a reply... Is there a magic way of doing that???) happy

I just click on each "Quote Reply" and then cut and paste them all on a Microsoft Word file and comment underneath each one of them. When I'm finished, I cut and paste the whole thing into the reply section.

No that is pretty easy...you can either use the "quickquote" button or you make the quotes yourself by [quote ][i]originally posted by The Omega[/ i]*text*[/quote] just without the spaces....or you can open the quotes in a new window and copy past them....whichever one prefers.....just saying the name and using an arrow is cooler though....

Oh, no! Bardock! I've made you look like a fool again, although this time it's unintentional! Using 'didn't I' as a tag-question implies a positive answer! If I had said: "I didn't though, did I?", then it would have implied a negative answer.

Enough.

There is no art of debating unless you're in a sanctioned debate.

The key on THIS forum is to know what you're talking about and have the ability to make and understand points. Hence why most of them go to shit.
