Hey Bladey, ever heard the saying never wrestle with a pig, because you just get muddy and the pig likes it?

Its been my observation that when someone does not have a valid argument, they resort to cheap slight of hand tricks like bait-and-switch, elephant hurling and strawmen, etc.

As much as I enjoy dumping bait, herding elephants and torching strawmen, it gets boring after a while.


Now, why don't you go do something useful like donating to some hurricane relief fund, or better yet, the next FReepathon.

That statement applies to trying to argue with an opponent who uses dirty tactics. I haven't done so on this thread, AFAIK.

That's nice. But what does it have to do with our discussion here?

I'll give your advice the consideration it deserves. Which is pretty much none.
