For example...

"D00d ur armor is uber"

"lolz my skillz r uber"

"uber!"

And I'm not joking. It's a word that avid video game players have taken and repeatedly defiled in a gutter.

EDIT:

Wikipedia to the rescue:

Actually, I already responded. You're wrong. 'Uber' means 'like cheese', as in the Latin: "Ues Brie Cheese Likes".

what are the stupidest tactics for debating you have seen?
[b]no names please, just state it, and if giving an example do not paste a debate from another thread. just give a hypothetical example.

example:

one which has been reoccuring very often is what i will refer to as "run with the analogy". this is a tactic where, when an opponent shoots out an abstract analogy to illustrate their pattern of logic, the poster will ignore that it was simply an analogy and run with it, accusing the opponent of making a direct comparison...all the time completely dodging the point, imho very much on purpose.

poster 1: you shouldnt just get pregnant without knowing what you're getting into. parenting is a heavy responsibility. to go about it in a rush and without proper planning would be like running through traffic blindfolded.

poster 2: omg how can you compare parenting with running through traffic? how stupid. only an idiot would compare the two (on and on)

i can think of a million of them, but lets hear your observations.

oh yeah, most important: please do not quote logical fallacies. those who would understand already know them, and those who dont know are most likely too set in their own silly ways to ever care to learn them, as they are the often the ones who gleefully commit them. [/B]

I debated in other forums be 4. and I know what you mean. Most people in forums are just fartknockers..so i ignor them.

By day he is a mild mannered and often humorous KMC member....

By night he is Chuck Norris/Bradock who totally owns German (owns as in posseses, not owns as in "I own you noob", because that wouldn't make sense.)
