Calling people out.
March 9, 2013 at 7:00 pm
Just a passing thought of mine but I don't understand the no calling out rule, as long as the calling out is logical and inoffensive.
If someone has a thread and they make several illogical statements consecutively, including scientifically unsound, prejudice basically nonsensical statements I think they should be forced to stop before their thread basically turns into an underhanded non direct insulting match.
If people wanted to stop me and copy and paste my statements and interrogate me on anything I've said I wouldn't mind.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

The "no calling out" rule only applies if someone makes a thread in order to call someone out. Replying to them in their own thread (or in a thread to which they have responded) is fine.

What if you have to keep replying in that thread with the same questions they refuse to answer? Over and over.

Circumnavigate the "calling out" part by simply asking a question releated to the subject previously discused by the individual which the individual could not resist but answere to.
And keep these simple, so there is no talking arround the point.
Like:
Do you support slavery?
Do you believe rape is only a trivial offence?
and so on....

Then you're demonstrating that they are useless at actual debate. We can't (and won't) do anything about it though. I'd suggest if they are getting on your nerves, you just refuse to continue the conversation.
Yeh I'm just going to never look at or reply to a thread made by mo66 until he answers my questions I IMed him.
Can i make a thread inviting people to call me out? or to ask me anything and to try and call me out on stuff?
