Except I'm not talking about burden of proof, I'm referring to the total dismissal of the other person's position by forestalling whatever proof may be available. Doesn't matter if that proof, or evidence, isn't what it's claimed to be, or falls short of doing what's claimed to be on the tin; simply shooting it down as nonexistent before it's even been presented is hardly conducive to a reasonable discussion - the bread and butter of a discussion forum.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
