The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Ryujin]

Yeah, I had to dip out of that thread a while ago. My rule is once people start talking more about the argument itself than the topic of the thread, I'm late for the door.

I guess some people honestly believe that if they can't win the argument, they should start arguing about the argument itself.

"No, a six-part Toulmin argument is the superior way to argue! I find the Rogerian binary a bit too restrictive and frankly, it's just too tame for how deeply offended your argument has made me! And I swear to Pelor, the next person who comes in here with a weak narrative argument is going to get an earfull!"

Are you arguing that we should argue about all the arguing about arguments about the original topic?

I'm saying that an argument is not merely the gainsaying of what the other person puts forth.

Rules changes arguments read like an ATHF episode ...

Yes, it is.

Yes, it is.

No it isn't.

I will always prefer Monty Python jokes over threads that devolve into quarrels about quarrels. I mean, both are funny, but the Monty Python guys are pros.
