I know I’m old and boring, but I have been tempted to jump into threads and ask Hexbeariums to chill out with he dunking. I think that informed debate does more than dunking, and spreads the message better.

I get it. Libs suck, and many of them aren’t debating us in reasonable fashion. They probably deserve it, but often 20 comments of PPB and other one-liners under one thread just makes us look a bit silly.

Not to be an enlightened centrist, but we need both tactics. Informed debate is definitely important, but so is hardcore dunking. Different tactics click with different people. But I agree, there needs to be a balance and right now it feels like it’s weighted too much towards repeated PPB (which imo should be reserved only for the more egregious bad faith arguments).

No, you need the carrot (long civil explanation) and the stick (ruthless dunking). Neither are as effective as both together.
