Reply #17: I apologize unconditionally

[sui generis]

that I will not be able to change my ways. I have three first place highschool regional debate awards and require no lecturing on tactics.

Frankly, anyone who limits themselves, period, is a weaker opponent. Your credibility or my credibitility is not the issue, oh sideways ad hominem attacker. I would have your nads by the short hairs in a debate whilst you were spluttering about my subtle assault on your choice of hairstyle, which makes you the weaker opponent. And I'd have all those little index cards lined up to knock you down just in case you did decide to stop being a schoolmarm and got serious.

Following an ad hominem with a shaming and a scold is lost here, and especially on me. Blowing off steam is the operative context. Do you really believe that by critiquing style in place of substance you will get anyone to agree with you to talk substance? If you are a good debater you surely know better than that.

Anyway, my dander isn't really up as high as it might seem - peace. :P
