I have a confession to make. I'm bad at arguing. I admit it. I let emotion take control, and I speak out with more emotion and anger than logic. This is why I was banned from BAUT for 24 hours; I let my emotions get away with me, and I posted what amounted to an attack. I said something in a very offensive way. Earlier, in the Moon Man thread, the people that called for the banning and insulted Moon Man were called trolls. I think I was included in that list. So this means I'm a troll, too. I'm not bitter over this; it's caused me to think, even as I was continuing to argue on this forum. I'm also horrible at keeping a thread "on-track", so to speak. I sincerely apologize; I make skeptics and debunkers look bad.

Don't worry, so do I. You should see me when I argue (you can't call it debating - it's arguing pure and simple) with a friend. I can get pretty viscious

Well, you've taken a step in the right direction by admitting these things here. That's a show of character, in my view. We all are only human (with flaws), and I have on occasion let my emotions take over in my posts as well. I'd bet 99.99% of us have done so at some time or other (excepting the 0.01% alien / android groups ;D)
Cheers

All except Jay, that is. The man just hits you with logic. Mr Spock would find him "a challenge".

Jay says 'Hogwash' when the person he's responding to is talking a lot of rubbish. The word is used for the waste water from cleaning pigs, something that is generally of no use for anything.

Jay says a lot of "stereotypical scientisty" things when debunking. Hogwash is one of them. I can't think of the others right now (brain fart). It's kinda cute ^_^
