All that stuff is common in modern media. People are just learning from them.
What baffles me, is that people can see those techniques used on TV, and use them in the same way to be deceptive, but still never realize the TV was also being deceptive.

All of these work, I'm embarrassed to say.
Sometimes, there is too much pleasure to be had from knotting up someones mind in false logic and then watching them finally cave in and submit.
Too much.
I normally start with something emotive, move swiftly towards garbled cause and effect, take a detour straight through appeal to the mind, go for a short stop and lunch at faulty deduction whilst musing the benefits of manipulating content, before re-treading something emotive and finally going on the attack, but disguising it as appealing to the mind.
But never on these forums...EVE players are too smart to be tripped up, or just too busy to 'play'.

I did not have sexual relations with that woman!
But I gotta admit, the red herring is the most fun. After all I do like fishing. I think fly fishing is the best, German brown trout and rainbow trout being my favorite targets. I don't see the lure in other types of fishing, what good is it? Fly fishing takes thought and control, rhythm and patience, deviancy. Anyone can just squeeze a ball of cheese on a hook and plunk it in the water, no? |

I like to fly fish too... bait fishing is good for those times you just want to sleep for 3 hours in a boat

If you have to post and tell folk how much of a forum warrior supreme you are, then you're probably not as good as you think you are.
Some of these people are the EVE equivalent of the drunken twunt at the corner of the bar in most UK pubs who was second man on the balcony during the Iranian embassy siege, and has done three tours of Iraq that he can't talk about (though he does try at every single chance), despite being under 40 and nobody in town ever being able to remember a period where he left for more than two weeks to go ply his sorry trade in an English bar in Ibiza for a change.
The same sort of idiot who'll threaten you with any number of styles of martial arts induced mayhem (Shaolin Drunken Fuckwit anyone?) for daring to question his meandering daydream, but seems curiously reluctant to step outside and settle this if that's how you feel, because he doesn't want to get arrested for using the hands that have been registered as deadly weapons.
A true forum warrior doesn't need charts and self-congratulation and every third post to point out the minutae of his machiavellian manipulations.
If people can't spot awesome you are on the forums, then you may not be that awesome after all.
tl;dr version for the hard of thinking
zzzzzzz..... yeah; if you like. One original thought is worth a thousand mindless quotings - Diogenes. |

Too bad I can't do it here though, they'd put me in prison for 1000 years Especially since all the lakes around here (near abouts San Diego) are small lakes and one stick of dynamite would probably blow them off the map.
Oh well, at least this chart was interesting, looking at some of the other charts they seem rather biased and full of errors. Though it does make me wonder what my actual ibtl score is by now

Hahaha, yes, these ages old tactics are sometimes a surefire way to win pointless arguments.
But honestly, I still fail to understand the value of "winning" said arguments. Ignorant uneducated people will usually, more or less remain the same ignorant uneducated people over the years. Winning a pointless argument will do squat for you or them in the long run and benefit no one but ... your ego, which is as pointless as watching paint dry, unless you enjoy the fumes.
But then again, to each their own. I-¦m more interested in sapping away life experiences from people, rather than confront them, even the most uneducated ignorant person has viewpoints that sometimes make my mind blow away on specific topics such as life, forms of living, dealing with pain and grief and general humanity.

A true tl;dr dynamite fishing tale.... I used to be a Peace Corps volunteer on a little island in the western Pacific, and an old guy there told me this story. I'll call him Ignatius here.
Ignatius's island had Japanese troops on it during World War II. So U.S. Navy carrier planes dropped quite a few bombs on it. After the war, Ignatius found an unexploded 500 lb. bomb stuck in the ground. So he unscrewed the detonator timer cap thing and ran some some dynamite down into the guts of the thing. Then he put the bomb on his bamboo fishing raft, poled far out into the bay, to a place with thick coral and plenty of fish. He planted the bomb among the coral, about 10 ft. underwater. Then he poled away, trailing the dynamite fuse behind him. It must have been a pretty long fuse-- maybe 60 ft. or so.
So, Ignatius is sitting on his raft and he lights the fuse. It burns slowly, so he has some time to wait. So he gets a betel nut out of his basket, puts on the lime powder and other stuff, and makes himself a mildly narcotic chew. Just as he's starting to enjoy it, he notices that-- HOLY CRAP-- the current has drifted him right over the bomb. He grabs his pole and starts poling as fast as he can, but-- KABLOOIE, bomb explodes, raft, basket and Ignatius go up maybe 30 ft? 40 ft? 50 ft? in a tower of sea water. It was a 50 lb. HE bomb, your estimate on high high they went is as good as mine.
When ignatius comes down, he's OK, but kind of dazed. Fish are floating everywhere, all over a huge area of the sea. But his bamboo raft is also floating around in separate pieces. With no raft, he has no way to harvest all the fish. So he put one big fish under one arm, a bamboo pole under the other, and paddled back to shore. That's The End of Ignatius's bomb fishing tale. |
