Usually I read these walls of text but I'm busy. Have fun in Facepunch.

Casual conversations can turn into debates at a moment's notice.

You can't REALLY expect me to believe THAT? How DARE you say such a thing?

I'd like to respond to that, but taking into account your background, education, and intelligence, I am quite sure that you would not be able to understand. [sp]lol jk[/sp]
I've heard some of that....and I couldn't react very fast, but I'll have them on mind for next time.
I believe those are arguments that mostly lawyers and judges use.
Nice one, I'll try to remember the site for future reference.
I LOVE how OP rated everyone who didn't like the article, dumb, and agree with everyone who likes it.
Edit:
He rated me dumb!
Hey it's how most of the people on Facepunch argue!
Luckily delaying tactics don't really happen much on forums. If you can't answer it straight away, you just give it a bit of time until you can. No-one really cares that much if a reply is late.
Reminds me of how CriticalThought/OleWally argues.
A lot of people argue like this. Some of the stuff here is things you would have trouble guessing were wrong unless it was explained to you. Often it's also just lack of patience to come up with something rather than lack of skill.
These are what make conversation interesting. Hamlet would be an awfully boring play without the witty dialogue.
what makes this funny is that if it helps me in anything it helps me in detecting the very people who use this and I can just call them out on using tactics in an argument and it just removes the point of having an honest argument
Rating someone "dumb" or "disagree", and another one "agree" or "informative" has no purpose other than to try and affect other people by simply voicing your opinion. You want people to know what you think of someone, but you don't want to explain yourself.
It's not explicitly stated so in the OP, but I believe that it goes against the principles it's trying to teach. It's extremely disruptive if, in the middle of a conversation, you tell someone that you think they're dumb. Why would you do so if you're not even going to elaborate on the subject any more?
Also, no :godwin: , therefore this article is irrelevant.

Ratings don't belong to a conversation. I think people should abuse them so that they will get removed as soon as possible, due to the reason you've mentioned.
[sp]not_Morph53 deserves the dumb rating though[/sp]

Two years ago, this post would have got you instabanned, which would have been unexpected, and hilarious.
Screw avoiding these, I'm going to [i]use[/i] these. Who cares if I seem insane, it gets you points in the eyes of dumber observers.

OP is doing the same thing he's telling others not to:

I only use it when other people can't see logical links due to the fact that they aren't very good at reasoning, and not when I'm wrong and trying to defeat my position by gaining reputation this way.

Do you even know what you're talking about? Judging by the reasoning quality of your posts it's fair enough to say that you either aren't very bright or pretending to not be very bright. (most likely trolling)

You're trying to educate people on how to debate yet you insult people and rate them dumb everytime they disagree with you. :irony:
I guess if people want to learn how not to talk they can just read your posts.

Don't take him too seriously, he's just trolling from a soapbox.
He reminds me of FreeThinker.

Eh, I thought you were the one trolling.

And yet here you are doing exactly what you're telling people not to do.
