    Back in the day, I found the back-and-forth's with YOU KNOW quite notable.

    He was an independent mercenary for the WTs cause. And if he couldn't bring a winning argument for the Tower, then there was none to bring.

    I started a topic stating i didnt believe in evelution and it was crap. I put up a pretty good fight so i thought and was even told so via pm. But in the end I lost the argument because i researched the topic and what others were saying. But loosing is ok because isnt that the piont have having an argument, so we can learn?

    Of course Leo and the French guy (Narkosi???) wiped the floor with the Dubs.

    Yea Leolaia and Narkissos were both excellent at debate, very articulate and interesting to read. Some very thought provoking posts and a genuine, considerate approach to discussion.

    I recall other posters such as AlanF, Farkel, FunkyDerek and Hillary Step also being formidable in debate.

    Cofty's "Problem of Evil" thread is an epic one, as is Viviane's "What is Spirit?"

    OTWO - Sometimes when I try to copy something on my iPhone, it doesn't work right. Maybe Rebel just found it easier to type what you wrote thinking it would be easier... It was probably just a bad typo(s). No need to make it into a big deal. He referenced you in the post...

    Not sure why Rebel didn't comment on your post. Seems like just a technical issue...

    Well spotted "OnTheWayOut" and of course I did that deliberately to highlight selective quoting.

    Has anyone noted how often selectively quoting people happens on a thread.

    Marty Fellon is terrible -to think some people like the idea of racism?

    could later be quoted as " some people like the idea of racism"

    Has anyone followed a thread on this broad, in which an argument has been won by someone admitting they were wrong?

    Anyway maybe if arguments are not won, people go away think about it later, and maybe change their mind a bit.

    Talking about maybe, is it conceivably possible that some are here simply for the joy of arguing?

    The Rebels advice on how to win a debate on this board:-

    a) Claim to have a P.H.D in the area of debate.

    b) When you loose the debate, claim to be the winner regardless.

    Seriously there have been some great debates here.

    The Rebel.
