Quote by: Isherwood Right or wrong, is it really necessary? Does it make your position stronger? Is it relevant to the debate? |
See, we are getting closer to what I consider relevant. I may make myself feel better, calling a "spade a spade", but I suppose that it is true that it rarely changes a mind. If I do a proper cost:benefit analysis, I have to admit, it causes more trouble than it's worth. So, it seems I have, with the help of my friends here, taught myself what I really already knew: It's productive to call a lie a lie, but counter-productive to call anyone a liar. Thanks. I was probably getting a little too self rightious and needed to check myself.
Sorry for being a bit of a shit in other threads.
