Am I being unfair?

Evidently this very serious debate is with someone I have on ignore, so I am missing it!

Predicting your debate opponent's next "move" is fair, but using that prediction as an attack is not.



This is a personal attack, which is unfair.



Subjective observations are fair, but usually only when the subjective observation adds to your argument in a non-fallacious way. So I think this is unfair.



More personal attacks, and some mind reading (underlined). Mind reading is a very unfair tactic, but it is also very common, especially between quarreling lovers. Additionally, even though I agree with your "word salad" accusation, the fair thing to say is, "I don't understand what you are trying to say," since that is more true than the metaphor.

All of this is simply based on college debates, which doesn't always work well for internet debates.

I should point out that they believe in telepathy as a proven phenomenon, so mind reading can't be unfair.

That is really funny.

but then again, I hate pomospeak, so....

You are being unfair to ME! I started that sub-thread with tama, and I wanted to have some fun with him, but NOOOOOO, you jumped in and did a much better job than I EVER could have so now Im stuck here laughing at the whole thing. Thanks.

Brilliant. Just freaking brilliant. I love you man.

I kept reading and reading. Thinking at some point, the debate would suddenly cut off when a lightbulb came on. Nope. Maybe it was a quantum lightbulb.

Upthread, I read Rob H's "pomospeak" comment as "pompous." Which works too, for several of the master debaters in Religion.
