Thanks a lot! Honestly it’s trying to turn my wasted radlib debatelord redditor years into something more positive, plus I try to make it less confrontational and more educational because I try to reduce the debatelord aspect of correcting misconceptions and misinformation. That’s it, really!
its impressive how you simply dont get sucked into the rage inducing takes posted ad naseum. im over here screaming at my phone while you just toss out facts with no malice
I’m not immune to getting frustrated, I just don’t take any of their insults seriously or personally, I guess. I find that it’s very effective this way and some people have thanked me for it, so I keep going!
You’re actually really good at this and should keep doing it. You consistently give receipts and cut through bullshit to address the core. You are doing great work. I just lawyer question people and ask for clarification until they look like assholes. You put in work.
Thank you! I do think different approaches work for different people, though, so lawyer questions may work where my style doesn’t. If everyone did the same way I did I’m pretty sure the effect would backfire, honestly.
Your way does take more work tho. I also need the runway cleared with informative replies that fall on dead ears before im willing to swoop in and treat the witness as hostile. If someone doesn’t t bother to do the reading but keeps arguing anyway it makes me mad and generally its real easy to give these people just enough rope. Mine is simply a more ancient form of debate lord behavior learned from BBS Forums. Socratic Method combined with childish namecalling
@cowbee. Your work is commendable. I don’t know how you have the patience for these shits but it is admirable.

But again, thank you!

And your contribution is vital too!
I think it’s fine to be provocative, but if you’re really trying to be less of a debatelord, then the title isn’t great.The op is a different person
Thanks for the heads up, my mistake
I don’t consider myself a debatelord, just my former self.
Edit: oh, didn’t realize it you thought I was the OP, yea like @Edie@hexbear.net said the OP is a different person.
My bad
No worries!
