Dear World,
I like facts, when making my decision about something I work on facts. When you try to persuade me, use facts and logic. More importantly, when citing an incident as supporting evidence, I need specifics. An approximate date, and a description of what happened would be good. If you can't come up with this, don't be surprised if I think you're argument sucks, and don't just believe your argument on good faith. Also to those who do decide to engage me in a debate, if you try to prove your argument using unsupported facts, cited incidents with no details/dates, or by the virtue of you being smarter and more informed than I (without facts to support this statement) be assured I will seek to end this argument quickly.
If I ask for the argument to end, that means that I'm not convinced and will not be convinced. If you continue to argue the point, I will get rude and dismissive. People who clearly cannot be dissuaded from arguing with me, and have a past history of this can expect rude and dismissive from the gates. Its not pleasant, but I work with what tools I am given.
I'd like to invite a guest commentator, Morbo, to add to this topic:
DEBATING DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY!
