Sometimes you can't attack the argument bc it's so darn stupid, the only thing you can do is attack the idiot who made the argument.

I try to avoid it, even when its clear that Im being needled. Best to try and keep things as good faith as possible.

Then say his argument is stupid, not the person

If a person makes a stupid argument, they are likely stupid

Yep that's another form of gaslighting. Should be called out when done.

Not really. Like, if I've seen the argument before, and it's just being repeated ad nauseam even though it was solved ages ago, yes, balls are going to be busted.

Tangent: I've noticed that trolling and political cult diatribe has evolved. Mid 10s it was all about the gish gallop, repeated at high frequency. For a while it seemed like nothing would ever really solve that. Fortunately, the benefit of having a shitty argument pop up constantly is that you are essentially getting everyone to study. That shit is less common now, because it gets shut down quite easily. Now, they retreat, wait, and sealion.

I won't argue unless I can attack the argument

No harm in saying "yeah you're right"
