I just noticed a large majority of Facepunch mods ban people and close threads based on their own personal opinion and/or people they don't agree with though others might.

The debate isn't the problem. It's the shitstorm that forms whenever someone runs out of arguments and decides to start flaming people instead of getting better arguments or admitting they were wrong/refraining from posting.
You really have nothing better to do than write a book about arguments that take place on an internet forum?

What I meant was the way everyone thinks there are "rules" to it like when everyone says ad hominem/strawman/citations/etc and all the other general bullshit that is for some middle school debate club, not facepunch.

Its not like he is dedicated his life to the book, it doesnt have to be a full time thing. Maybe like a book of notes. Besides, its about Warhol, and he hasnt been trollin' lately so he certainly has more productive things to do. At least I hope he does.

Well, it's kind of hard to argue if the other side can't make up a coherent argument.
Plus, they aren't rules, but doing shit like ad hominem/strawman/no citations can make your argument moot, since you can't argue for your side well.

That's exactly how I feel, just never knew how to put it in words.
"your debating skills suck lolol"
"this is facepunch, I don't care about debating"
People get all technical and shit and act like I'm the dumb stupid one for not knowing how to "debate properly" perfect example is JDK.
Also how the news section is ALWAYS filled with blind hatred of America.

Nuclear Annhilation, you're the most sensible poster on Facepunch. I respect you.
Auto word banning is dumb, a word is offensive based on context.
Like, if I say for example, "That supremacist called me a nigger", IT ISN'T OFFENSIVE. But if I call someone a, well, you know, a ban would make sense

That's fine. But it was usually like the OIFY posts where there were 75 straight lines of the n word for a whole page by multiple posters.

"The n word" what is this, kindergarten? The moment you start fearing a word is the moment a word gains negative connoctations and power. Ridiculous.
Hey op, I like your argument but it was a bit of a straw man and you didn't address my points and you're retarded and I find your logic fallible
[QUOTE=CheeseMan;25145465]"The n word" what is this, kindergarten? The moment you start fearing a word is the moment a word gains negative connoctations and power. Ridiculous.[/QUOTE]
Because I would be banned.
This thread needs frogs. :frogdowns:

But live and let die

When challenged, resort to namecalling.
And [U]you[/U] want to teach [U]us[/U] about arguments?
