you can only do so much
Hello hooah and others,
You and I have a similar debating style hooah.
Lots of people have opinions. Fine, no problem with that.
Lots of people have different interpretations of scripture, philosophical opinion and sociological opinion. Fine, no problem with that either.
Where I have a problem is when someone puts forward something as a fact that is obviously contrary to evidence.
Or they post something that is obviously bullshit and they wont post their evidence.
I agree that you should treat your opponent with respect. However, when they put excrement on your plate, you should not have smile and eat it out of respect. You should be able to tell them they are serving shit.
Sometimes when you call your opponent a douche, you may be right.

I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong
