67. Don't you hate dealing with an AFTSOA?
...people like Elmer whine "I want facts! I want evidence!", which despite the ridiculousness of the request (demanding facts for an opinion) you supply ANYWAY. Then they claim that the fact you presented isn't enough or doesn't apply to the discussion.

These kinds of people I call AFTSOA's (Arguing For The Sake Of Arguing). It's pervasive here on the DU and we need to give a name to it. It's OBVIOUS when you see it, no matter what side of a debate you are on.

Just call them an AFTSOA and move on. Let them figure it out what it means!
