Gangup-pings to bombard a viewpoint you don't like isn't very attractive, bro. If you don't like Galt's message, you debate him.

Good, solid debate is stifled by gangup-pings, where a person is battered by six or seven posters at once. I once engaged in such tactics. I do not do that any more; I realize that drowning a man out with volume in no way adds to the quality of an argument, and in fact, dilutes it.

To the rest of you, please don't take the bait. Don't drown a man out with volume when CP's quality argument should take the day instead.

Gosh, Laz, I just got here. Still trying to get around that "porkies" thing in the pancakes & porkies breakfast for you. I've already rejected those soybean food product fake porkies--they're just too much like tofu turkey.

So what's this thread about exactly?

Four or five ago, someone did a parody thread, "FR in the 1930s"--anyone still have that one handy?

The operative phrase here is "good, solid debate". You can only have good, solid debate with a good, solid debater.

Ahhhhhhh... The days of ferrit and marcellus. I remember them well, and actually enjoyed taking on the tag teams. Puts you in the corner most visible. And if you're good(I cannot claim), you come out the victor...
