NG Poli Motto

[reviewer-general]

I think that this would be an appropriate motto for the style of debate and argument on the Poli forum:

Argumentum ad hominem - An argument against the man. Directing an argument against an opponent's character rather than the subject at hand

AMIRITE?

Discuss.

"Discuss. Debate. Dare to be Different!"

"Everyopinion, by Everyone."

I see you use the term "debate" loosely.

"Every opinion, by Everyone."

Clever, clever . . . .

"Ignored by real-world Polititians since 1997."

"Shut up n00b" is probably the most accurate.

Hell, if it weren't for that phrase, certain people on this board wouldn't have much of an argument, or response for that matter.

Don't you have mooses and maple syrup to be tending after right now?

For one, BC maple trees aren't the best for making maple syrup. And two, it's moose, not "mooses".
So on both counts, you're wrong.

Ahhh ya gotta love ignorance.

Only if said ignorance was true, and not simply a ploy to see how arrogant the response would be.

You have a great point. But I don't believe you were aiming for that, so you still fail. Unless you were really aiming for that, but no one will no for sure besides you and your God.

Tread carefully, you're being watched. But not by me. Possibly your government. But His almighty presense is always watching you.

I always thought it was "meese" or some weird shit like that.

He tends to do that. Be a dick to provoke stupidity.
So I'll buy it from him. Plus, you can tell that it was meant as a slander to piss of BCDemon.

As for sayings, how bout:
"Who cares what your evidence is, my opinion is still valid!"

Or if you're D2K:
"I don't care if MY sources prove me wrong. I'm still correct."

Proteas replies what BC wrote about ad hominems and it seems to have flown over everyone's head.

With a raspberry face no less. As is his usual want.
I think quite a few of us got that.

The thing is, what bc wrote was a thinly veiled jab at the way I'll dive into Carl Sagan's Baloney Detection Kit at times to poke holes in people's arguments. I don't do it THAT often (because it can be annoying if done excessively), but it seems to be a sticking point with bcdemon.

What bc WON'T admit to is the fact that he is still sore about the way I closed the Best Debators on NG topic where he got to take potshots at me for using the aformentioned kit.

That gives me a couple right there...

"No MY dick is bigger!"
"You're a doo doo head."

Or one just for you D2K:
"I'll just change the subject AGAIN!"

To be fair, I see a lot more Post Hoc arguments and Non-Sequiters here than outright Ad Hominims.
