I think in terms of being able to logically argue an idea better than anybody else on this site, Lira takes the cake. This is especially impressive given English not being his native language. He also doesn't appear to try and give the impression of intelligence just by using words that appear to have been recently looked up in a thesaurus. |
Thanks for your kind words, Russell 
To be honest though, that's my greatest fear. Debating is seldom an easy thing to do, because it may be a topic one of the parties feels strongly about, so any misplaced comment can ruin the whole idea exchange. That's why I'm now rarely debating here, as I've been having less and less time to read the views of other people and make sure I'm being fair to them, and I resort so much to humour (in case someone mistakenly believes I take myself too seriously). The few times I tried a different approach, they failed disastrously.
And to this day I sometimes have people tell me I'm condescending or pretentious, which shows I've a long way to go... or that it's inevitable.
