Idiotic Debating Tactics

Started by Schecter75 pages

wow, i really set off some sort of meltdown. maybe you should back away from the computer and cool off a bit. this is not healthy.

i would recommend smoking a bit of weed or hash. kick back in a comfy chair, play some allman brothers or bob marley. and above all:

relax 🙂

Person A returns sometime later expecting no one to remember the reasons why they said they were leaving. Whilst nothing has changed either in favour of person A's argument with moderator or person As claims about dislike and waste of time said forum is.
Poster A continues to post.

I call this the hypocritical argument.

Haha, cause PVS did that. Haha, that's fresh.

Kinda wrong recalled, but funny anyways.

And in his own thread.

Debating over rebellionistic music!

LOL 🙂

This is one that only people in the vs. forums are used to, and since I am a geeky loser I see alot of it, it is when someone hypes their character up to Galactus like levels, while downplaying yours. An example would be,"Pffft, Pyron has nothing on Kain. Pyron is pathetic, he is just a big fat cosmic catippillar(ROFL) that travels space eating planets and getting fat(ZOMG). Kain can keep evolving and getting new powers to pwn the shit out of him(LMAO)."

This is known as "character wanking", or being a fanboy.

no offense, but most people outside the versus forums see you all as fanboys. 😛

"its bullshit because its bullshit"

i wouldnt call it a debating tactic, but i love when people feel the need to post their opinion that something is bullshit. their evidence is that they just believe its bullshit. this often comes in the form of a single drive-by post.

Life much?

How about making a comparison between two points of being the same, even though they are completely different, except for maybe they share one opposite/similarity.

Examples:

Atheism and Theism are just as bad as eachother. One believes, the other doesn't.
Clinton and Bush are just as bad as eachother. One's Republic, one's Democrat.
Mountain Bikes and Dogshit are just as bad as eachother. Both make you feel sick.

I think that was his point.

I've got one. It is seen in the vs. forums.

Powerwanking: When a poster hypes up feats and abilities of their character to levels never shown either by exaggerrating or outright lying, and downplaying legit feats and powers of the opposing character.
