Certainly not. Anyone who can do that day after day and keep a straight face is deserving of praise. I definitely wouldn't want to get in a arguement with him, even over something as beneign as Pepsi or Coke?

Sadly, he's never been to Apolyton...so far as we know...



I'd have to agree on arguing with MtG. But I don't like getting into arguements, so I haven't butted enough heads to have a definitive answer.

I've had some good experiences in arguing with MtG, so he can't be on my list.

I've also had some good experiences with Berzerker, even though he never admits being in the wrong.

Boris, lots of debates, marginal progress, no regrets.

It's one thing to argue with a moderator...

...it's another thing to argue with a moderator's warning.

Just something everyone should think about next time they want to go a round with a mod.

MTG is good to argue with. We are friends so I don't think we really try to take each other on. If you withstand the onslaught of facts and maybe do a little following up/reading you will learn some good stuff and he is willing to go with the discussion into the areas that you pursue (if you get some new stuff). And since he is pretty centric, he will usually be able to agree with you on some of the subissues as you investigate them.

I find Berzie rather annoying. He will have an argument over many posts and than come back with"I never said that". At which point we start to argue what he said. And he can't seperate the argument of the original issue (on it's merits, whatever they are) from the argument over what he said (which is simple reference to the previous posts). Well, it's a pain in the ass to talk with someone who can't dissect and instead insists on confounding. And he's not smart/interesting enough to justify spending the time on it.

I like arguments against people who offer facts..that way you end up enlightened some, and even if you don't agree, you know more. What I hate area argumetns were I learn nothing at all against a person who is so convinced they are right even if they have no foundation for those beliefs. Those arguments suck.

Agreed, Gepap.

Most of the posters listed tend to provide facts for their arguments, and raise the level of the debate.

I wouldn't enjoy arguing with myself. Since i tend much more to the examine the logic rather than argue the facts. I am kinda lazy about googling. Of course if we discuss operating a nuclear power plant or submarine, I know a lot more...except for Dissident (the PVO master).

Arguing with Bezerker is an exercise in parsing sentences into oblivion, so I will avoid those at all costs.
