re: #45 Obdicut

Obdicut, you accuse me of engaging in “insane hyperbole”. You don’t consider that at all hypoerbolic? Seriously?

What I am doing is being the adult and disengaging from the conversation. You have a clear preference for discussing things with people who already agree with you. Your m.o. for dealing with challenges to your hypotheses is to lash out, make accusations of intellectual dishonesty and hyperbole, and bang away with questions to which you will never receive a satisfactory answer. Note that once you were finally kind enough to answer my question, it turned out we agreed on the core issues. There was no way to determine the common ground while you were insisting on delegitimizing the question in the first instance.

Your dialectic methodology is highly rhetorical, inflammatory, and more suited to delivering public diatribes. You are likely a gifted public speaker, but that does not translate into being able to sustain highly detailed, issues-driven sensible argumentation. When questioned, you go on the attack. You have a predilection for positioning your opponent’s argument as offensive to basic decency, and implying base motives to their position.

Watch, you’ll attack me now.
