Indeed, for the first time ever I've been subjected to a rash of "cheap debating tricks" on another thread. One of them was the strawman tactic, another was things taken out of context, another was applying the subject to a different object.
Something has changed at the foundation of the debate in the last couple of days and I don't know what caused it. Do you?
I dunno. Maybe an increasing sense of desperation among our correspondents?
