1. I state a theory or opinion, usually one that is fairly self-evident.
Squish: which usually sounds like you have all the facts and everyone else is wrong.2. Antagonist disagrees with the statement, without giving any reason.
Squish:Antagonist disagrees with the statement because you have indicated already that there is no room for debate and you are right at all times (i.e Atagonist getting ****ed off).3. I explain the basis for my side, and the logical flaws in Antagonist’s argument.
Everyone, not just the antagonist is getting ****ed off, because you are taking the whole thing too seriously, and you still won’t entertain the idea you might be wrong.
4. Ant focuses on a small and peripheral part of my post, and rabidly attacks that while ignoring my main point.
*Unfortunately, there are many points that you’re posts become questionable, you seem to rile the person even more by going off at tangents and using over the top sentences to explain yourself.
5. I try to bring the discussion back to the central topic.
*Whilst still getting on everyone’s nerves by using your use of logic and terminology.
6. Ant posts irrelevant personal attack and ignores the actual content of my post.
Ant get’s fed up with trying to reason with you, as it seems obvious you will not accpet an opinion other than your own, and try’s to tell what everyone is trying to tell you, stop going overboard with your posts.
7. I once again try to get the discussion back on topic.
Which is impossible now, because you have made everyone angry, and rational thought goes out the window.
8. Ant posts another personal attack.
Because you just can’t see how annoying you can be, do you really believe that everyone on here has a personal grudge against you, don’t you ever stop and think well maybe it’s something I’m doing that invokes this reaction?
9. I give up.
Only after it finally becomes clear that you have annoyed the hell out of someone, thankfully you do have the sense to walk away.
There are some slight variations, but that’s the archetype. I seem to be the only one here with a grasp on the standard dialectic/Lincoln-Douglas format for debate. My opponents just want to argue with and misrepresent me without actually thinking about what I’m saying. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/frown.gif[/img]
No one talks or thinks like you do Dalektek, you’re like some old wordly professor that has lost touch with the real world, there is nothing standard about writing in Lincoln/Douglas dialect, nobody gives any thought to what type of dialect they are using because it really doesn’t matter.
You are like a shakesperian actor that can only communicate by quoting shakespeare, frankly it’s boring and get’s under people’s skin bigtime, if you want to write posts in the manner you do then join a literary forum.
In the meantime drop the OTT style of writing and converse like one of the boys, nobody on here is impressed or even like’s the way you express yourself when using this style of writing, we are now in the 21st century…not the 19th, no one talks like that…good thing or bad that’s a fact.
