Hi,
Good way to win arguments, Pete, go after the people on your side.
I'm not looking to win arguments. I'm looking to increase my knowledge and clarify my opinions. I can't do that if the arguments presented are wrong, based on falsehoods, or illogical. I'd much sooner see a good argument that is devastating to my point of view than a crappy one supporting me. I can learn from the former, the latter is just so much noise.
So, it is not your viewpoints I disagree with, it is your arguments.
