The Seven Self-Contradictions of Postmodernism

[The_Rorschach]

"Using an insult rather than debating the point is an
ad hominem attack. It doesn't prove anything.

"There is no such thing as perfect understanding, and
you did not address my point."

Actually I did, when I reminded you not to confuse the
objective with the subjective, I simply peppered my
response with the proper amount of disdain for your
juvenile opinion. I suggest you start studying the
Toulmin model for debate rather than jumping into buzz
words and logical fallacies. You're over reaching
yourself. You, like many modern neanderthals before
you, have percieved argument and debate to be some
discourse devoted to attacking opponants and winning
some sort of victory. . .Which it is not. Debate takes
many forms, and it is just as often ameliorative
rather than combative - Especially here at the Mock
where humour was paired with wit to foster open
communication -At least before the arrival of trolls
like you and Vince.

The fruits of good debate are not immediately
tangible. It is not being right which is important,
but coming closer to the truth, thus civility is
required and an open mind.
