The Technique – Insult, Repeat Central Argument, Exhaust.

Nah. I don’t make argumentative fallacies. Whenever I think the other party is disingenuous or stupid I use Ad Hominems to increase their frustration and dampen their feeling of success, then restate the central argument, and repeat that process in response to every retort until the other party gives up. This allows me to construct an argument and appeal to the audience, rather than interact with the individual. It makes enemies that tend to leave you alone afterward as not being worth their trouble – which is the whole point. Meanwhile you’ve enlightened all the lurkers by using the useful idiot’s blathering as a promotional vehicle. I learned this technique back in the 80’s and i’ve maintained the zero-tolerance-policy and unforgiving retaliation since that time.
