The art of debating

QT hit the nail with that comment....it's only a forum guys. Why make a big huge deal out of it?

so...this has turned into a debate on the validity of forum debate...

...yourself and QT argue a point that debating is pointless and nobody ever agrees...

...so i must ask: why did you waste your energy in typing that?

As you can see I was addressing QT and not you. Then I ask a question and Bardock answer it. If I was really wasting energy then I would argue with you.

...but you are 😱

and btw you addressed QT in the third person, so no it was not addressed to QT alone. nice try. but then you go on to say "it's only a forum guys." which by your last statement denying any address toward myself would imply that you're calling me a woman...is that flaming? 😛

AC if you consider stupid people to be the problem. Wouldn't you consider people who think they smart an even bigger problem?

That first paragraph is odd. Yes we have discussions and agree/disagree and move on. What exactly is the point you're making? Once a debate/discussion is over, I move on. Sometimes even if it's still going on. As long as I've personally got something to say, I'll say it. Nowadays I've started taking anything that gets personal, to PMs. On topic, though, I say what I say until I'm done saying it. There are people, for example in the abortion thread, who can't (or won't) grasp the simplest of points.

It's not a matter of me wanting them to agree even, it's the fact that they genuinely can't grasp a point and as a result of them insisting to be part of the debate (it's their "right" of course), constantly drag it back to square one.

Also, I wouldn't say a bigger problem, I'd say as much a part of it.

Stupid people are the problem, yes. There, seems to be this "Everyone can debate" logic on KMC. Everyone has the RIGHT to, yes. Whether their contributions will be detrimental to the thread or not relies on their ability to debate properly. Debbiejo always drags things off topic. There's a connection.

Besides somethings aren't worth arguing about........I just won one with Bardock in the RF though.........EVERYTHING IS MADE OF ENERGY!!!

but thats just it...the problem. you didnt WIN. you helped someone to see your point, and accept it. it doesnt mean you validated the point a.k.a. "won". winning is impossible. im sure you know that, but many here just dont. and that imho is "the problem"

Well, you got this part right.. 😉

No..how...no...just...no...

Well this one time I was chewing gum and I said I should post on here because this gum is good. No one ever really "wins" an argument as PVS stated even if you think you do, you don't.

Debbie if your point is to make chit-chat please go to the right forum, maybe in "your world" it's fine and maybe even fun to go off-topic on threads but there are rules.
So refrain yourself to post in these threads if you've got nothing to say about the original topic.

I think Debbie actually was right. I feel so bad inside now. God ....is that Bizarro world or something.

I certainly did comply with the topic......I said "I'm I only deluding myself"..Which was agreeing with Soleran who agreed with PVS.........Maybe you need to take a closer look........

Wonderful, now we're going to have even more people copying/pasting logic fallacies in threads without saying anything of value or interest to back it up.
