Why did he get banned?

My guess is that it was because he's a dullard.

Repeatedly trolling I believe....

Well I like reading the different debate of some people, though some of them can get alittle redundant.

someone not familiar with him might actually mistake him
for a gentleman.

O.K., could someone clear a debating order of procedure for me?

At what point is it acceptable (or necessary) for one supposed to declare victory and post smilies and "owned" pics in a debate?

I suppose you have to wait for your opponent to concede to your points before you can be declared "winner."
The thing is, before even starting a debate,, you need to lay down the foundation of premises. This is rarely done here. Some people debate on the premises that the Bible is true, for example, without ever offering proof.

docb77> You can agree with your opponents on various topics. That doesn't mean you agree with them on everything. It's not EITHER OR. And sure, we all fall in the pit of logic fallacies once in a while... EVERYONE KNOWS THAT!... <- one 🙂

How funny. Ms. A.D.D poster girl accusing someone else of being redundant.

I've been here with my attitude for the best part of a year longer than you and not nearly as many people have displayed such rampant annoyance for me as they have for you.

You belong in the OTF.

The Art of Debating.

Rule #1: You can only get better, by debating a tougher opponent.

Some people like Creshosk have had loads of formal debating training, which can make them frustrating to go against, but when they supply little concrete details and facts, its usually little else but frustration.

It's hardly a debate if one side is going by certain rules (Arguing objectively, providing evidence, not slipping up with numerous fallacies, and so on) and the other is arguing like a fool.

Apparently a lot of people are under the mass delusion that just having an opinion and asserting it is somehow debating.

He got banned for extensive use of Google. 😛

To add to the list; the sarcastic and "comedic" use of leet is becoming worse than insecure use of smilies, fast.

Of course, there is the distinct possiblity that I don't do that to be funny, but that I actually suffer a temporal lobe seizure and spasm all over my keyboard.

Hahaha, you rascals.

To add to my previous claim: It's less acceptable to then adopt the "Oh I'll be a right ol' card and do exactly what he claimed was immature and not funny, just to be funny." mentality.

For the record, I do appreciate that you speak leet to achieve some kind of over-emphasis and it's not serious, that it's meant in humour, I get it. It's just not funny and is becoming worse than original leetspeakers by the second.

Your choice as to what path you take 🙂<---Smiley.

Damn, I feel good now that I didn't post any "leet"....and God know I was tempted to do....

It's probably been funny once, ever. It never will be again and any chance it had to be resurrected as funny were killed off when everyone decided to start thinking "It'll be funny if I say it too."

If people want to use it, fine by me. I just find it odd that those same people are poking fun at the conduct of others.
