Default Online Forum Debates

Online Forum Debates
By Lance Winslow

When online in a forum you will notice that some folks just want to argue over semantics, as they take something written out of context and then attack a particular sentence or idea. Often they do this on something, which in fact is irrelevant to the topic of discussion. Suddenly you find yourself trying to defend some off subject issue. As a matter of fact believe it or not some governments pay people to promote misdirection this way to hide their deeds and often the individual typing in arguments or personal attacks is doing so under an assumed alias?

Other times it is just a prozac, insomniac who specializes in online debate for a hobby having nothing better to do who cannot jump out of the game long enough to see what is going on with their BS arguments? You can tell when you have someone like this as they attempt to spout party lines of industry, politics or subject matter as they understand it or from their clouded anti-social perspective. They often do this when they are discussing a new concept? They then get so caught up in the sound and fury, and need to be right, that they limit their thought thru defining everything that cannot be defined. Sometimes their own definitions, sometimes the industry definitions, sometimes you cannot even figure out what on Earth they are talking about or how that even relates. If you ask a question they feel slighted for some reason and start an array of personal attack on your character, knowledge, fidelity or where your head is stuck?

You cannot win an argument with a prozac, insomniac and psycho babble brain, but you might be able to use them to your advantage later against another such individual and then end the conversation complimenting them and they will go on and on fighting with the other person? Silly humans, online social interaction is quite hysterical indeed. Think on that.

We just had this happen on one of my forums, that's what Ohiosweetheart was talking about. After a day or two of back-and-forth bickering I wound up banning the troublemaking member.

I think I know who you are talking about. I am remembering who you are talking about.
