What Fallacy is this? 2018-03-27 03:10:57
Thanks. No I'm specifically talking about instances where one side of the debate is compared to the other side of the debate.
Another example would be:
(On Sales tax being removed from "essential"...
What Fallacy is this? 2018-03-26 04:07:51
I think it might be an "Appeal to Extremes" Fallacy, but I'm not sure.
It's when someone compares an extreme example of one side to a mild example of the other side. For example:
(On...

@admin you mentioned doing something with the character count right?
On my PC and on my Phone, it shows the character count as "NaN remaining" regardless of how many are actually remaining....

Looks great on the phone!
Love the fact I can jump straight to my notifications now. The other way was quite convoluted.
What was your first debate like?2018-02-15 12:46:15
But then I learned that debate is WAY more about crafting a clear narrative than it is about actually being technically correct.
Should say, *seems to be*. It's not like I'm an expert!
What was your first debate like?2018-02-15 12:43:31
My first proper debate was on here. My opponent forfeited both of my first debates so the one I count as my first was against admin and was an "is god real" type religious debate.
I really...

That's what I'm talking about! Meanwhile it is still hot in hawkes bay.

Hey @admin apparently this was a legit message, and I wasn't supposed to publicly announce anything - much less repost the entire message.
Jon would appreciate it if you deleted this thread. And...

Hey did we all get a message from @jonschory inviting us to join his new website?
Hey nzlockie!

Why I Don't Comment Often2016-05-27 05:53:34
You're right, we don't disagree.
I was saying that I understand where Admin may have been coming from, but the precedent set is not a good one. I 100% agree wth you, it's the message sent to onlookers...
Why I Don't Comment Often2016-05-26 21:38:42
I've got to say, I don't really mind the way this situation has been moderated.
I don't think Csareo has been very classy or respectful, or even constructive - but if nobody engages with him, there's...

I accept it - Csareo has some weird ideas about Football vs Rugby but other than that, he's ok!
Preemptive strikes and nukes2016-05-14 00:42:36
Yeah, you can call it deterrence if you like. It doesn't matter. That's still fear, you're saying, "Be peaceful or else."
I would argue that that is not peace. It might LOOK like peace,...
Preemptive strikes and nukes2016-05-13 20:44:49
You are literally saying that peace is achieved through fear.
If this were a movie, that's something the bad guys would say.

nzlockie: Done! Win, lose or draw - at least Admin has finally been able to complete a debate on whether the NZDF should be scrapped or not!
