rat-salute @cowbee. Your work is commendable. I don’t know how you have the patience for these shits but it is admirable.

    You’re actually really good at this and should keep doing it. You consistently give receipts and cut through bullshit to address the core. You are doing great work. I just lawyer question people and ask for clarification until they look like assholes. You put in work.

      Thank you! I do think different approaches work for different people, though, so lawyer questions may work where my style doesn’t. If everyone did the same way I did I’m pretty sure the effect would backfire, honestly.

      But again, thank you!

        Your way does take more work tho. I also need the runway cleared with informative replies that fall on dead ears before im willing to swoop in and treat the witness as hostile. If someone doesn’t t bother to do the reading but keeps arguing anyway it makes me mad and generally its real easy to give these people just enough rope. Mine is simply a more ancient form of debate lord behavior learned from BBS Forums. Socratic Method combined with childish namecalling
