RE: Re: The Winning Debate

Tom, this isn't battle, it's discourse.  Perfect logic with invalid "facts"
still yields a flawed argument, and that's where you body slam most people.
However, you tend do so in a way that stifles the conversation because you
make often make people wrong (with insults) rather than sticking with the
facts of the argument.

I get just as impatient as you do when someone doesn't get it.  The flipside
is, sometimes, lost in the noise, is a gem of wisdom from an unexpected
source.  We all lose when that gem stays buried.
