People who will ONLY address a strawman argument? How about the people who come into your channel and are IMMEDIATELY hostile, calling you "stupid", telling you that they think you're wrong in the most insulting ways possible? And then they act surprised or hurt when you won't debate with them? Or try to claim that you're engaging in censorship when you block them? Disagreeing is one thing, but being an obnoxious prick is quite another. A little swearing for emphasis is one thing, but swearing with the intent of being insulting is quite another. And you really can't blame a person for getting fed up after a while. If debate is important to you, if the TRUTH is important to you, then why the hostility and why the strawman arguments? Can you not debate in good faith? Can you not disagree in a civil manner? Personally, I've reached the end of my temper with these kinds of tactics, and rather than cause a big screaming drama on my channel, I'd rather just get rid of you. If you actually want to continue the discussion, if doing so is MORE important to you than expressing yourself like you're pre-menstrual, then please...dump some hormones and be rational. Cna you do that? Music by Kevin MacLeod: http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/index.html Used with permission
