Brevity and clarity are concepts to be absolutely avoided- think the Chewbacca Defense as written by Herman Melville, but with more words. Feel free to cut and paste pages of irrelevant quotes, raise up armies of strawmen, and answer each word of your opponent’s post with at least two paragraphs, 5 links, and a half dozen questions. <br /><br />The goal is to drive the average poster with a life into realizing they have better things to do with their life (after all, you do have the advantage by not having anything better to do). For once they stop replying, or post a TLDR, you win!Joe in PNGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-8671536856857179742010-06-10T04:05:12.673-04:002010-06-10T04:05:12.673-04:00If all else fails, compare your opponets to Hitler...If all else fails, compare your opponets to Hitler.

Pffft...small arms skirmishes. <br /><br />When confronted by an unexpected angle of attack on obviously vulnerable assertions or assumptions, skip right on over the tedium of defending your position. <br /><br />Just drop the nuke; declare dissent to be out of line, out of order, rude, an outright affront to the sanctity of your private space. And anyway, the anonymity afforded by the toobz negates any logic or reason that might be presented, your attacker is just a spineless, virtual coward (never mind that it's the toobz, the very foundation of which is, you know, anonymity). Declare yourself tired of the whole charade and by God,<br />you've half a mind to just take your toys and go home...again. <br /><br />Then step back and wait for your minions to take up the chatter, throw around some epithets, toss in a few pathetic threats...debate over.
