From your link:

What is required to be an expert is often a matter of great debate.........What one person may take to be a fallacious appeal another person might take to be a well supported line of reasoning. ........

It is important to remember that no person is completely objective............ At the very least, a person will be favorable towards her own views (otherwise she would probably not hold them).

Because of this, some degree of bias must be accepted............ What counts as a significant degree of bias is open to dispute and can vary a great deal.

Uhm.. there’s been a few people around grabbing that part of nizkor for a debating crutch. Funny thing, they tend to be either muslim potted plants or neonazi potted plants.

Nothing new under the sun. Maybe u should go back to inactive?
