What he was doing was an elementary school level debate tactic. You ask several questions in which you know the poster will agree and you are leading that person to a specific point you want. All of these small questions result in something like Wouldn't you agree then that XX is right about XX.
It's an old tactic, you cause the person to make several agreeing statements on simple items to a point where if you don't agree with their final conclusion you are in a corner and have to go back several levels in order to restate something. You've then lost credibility.

A hearty laugh and good humor in the morning does a soul wonders. Thanks for that mnehrling!
