That it is just your opinion. Someone could say that there are no idiotic debating tactics, and you could never disprove it.

Well, without a doubt, this is what we (and a generally consensus of intellectual people) regard as idiotic debating tactics. ´

Leave the doubting of everything to people who actually can pull the trick, m'kay?

You are making no sense. Unless you are trying to attach me personally.

It is very unsatisfying to argue with you, since you jsut dodge every argument..or change the topic midair. Anyways. Now where you graduated from is important to determine the respect you deserve, but what you actually think, say and do. That'S the Bottom Line.

IMO

Why do you address the minor part of my post instead of addressing the issue at hand?

I did not dodge your question. I did dodge Bardock's question, but he does not care about the question, just attaching me. Is that your problem also?

since this is a discussion, it is the problem of all who participate. so...yes it is. and maybe you should try detatching him.

I'm open to suggestions. He does this to me all the time. I was trying to come into the conversation with the idea that we must have established rules to know what we are talking about, but I got derailed before I got a chance to find the right angle.

we cant have established rules. all we can do is plea for common courtesy. that plea would be to not cast logic aside for the sake of 'winning' a.k.a. just shutting your opponent up. the exagerated scenario:

poster 1: i'm right and here's why *presents evidence*

poster 2: *shoots poster 1 dead* "HA!!! i win"

I agree with your primus in this thread. I was trying to interject about what Regret was saying.

les claypool is indeed one of the most talented bassists ever...but how is this relevant?

because "here come the bastards" is quite applicable to this debate

Even I don't understand where you're coming from with this perspective. It's either relevant or it isn't.

Dude, be more open minded....

Don't make me PM Floo. He'll elaborate all over your idiotic debating tactics. Then you'll be permanently banned.

Here's a good one:

People who use google as a reference.
