    Runaway and other rightwing nutters push lies repeatedly, argue in bad faith, and you want everyone to stick to the ideas only and forget that some users only ever argue in bad faith?

    I'll be right back. Need to get more popcorn. In the meantime, I'll leave this.

    Past history can be relevant, but only if you present it to the reader. Way back when, I brought [soylentnews.org] up aristarchus's pushed lies and bad faith arguments, I did it right. I brought up and linked three concrete examples of what he was doing (ad hominem attacks on the alleged ignorance of the poster rather than a real argument). I didn't merely assert without proof.

    When you just say something, then it can be wrong or even a deliberate lie. When you give three examples? That's how you do it.

    Here, we have zero evidence from the aristarchus side, just baseless accusations. Strong signs of yet more bad faith arguments.

    Khallow, you are a sophmoric idiot. The adults are talking here. Shut up and pipe down. We do not need any khallowesque commentary at this juncture. And, yes, it was an insurrection.
