re: #731 McSpiff
I feel that Tu Quoque is an a different category than “push back”. Tu Quoque, when successful, simply changes the topic of discussion from one the poster felt was ‘inconvenient’ to something they find more palpable. I think this type of derailment should rightfully be pointed out, since it usually doesn’t involve any actual counter points.
Well …
My mind works in a simple way, and those things always get too complicated for me to follow. I just prefer the straight-up explanations and information (refute what they said), rather than accusations about behavior (how they said what they said). Just me.
Honestly - it just confuses the hell out of me when that starts up.
LOL.
Sorry.
