In addition to the forum rules, please consider the following:

Attack your opponent’s idea, never your opponent.

Including:

Spelling

Ethnicity

Gender

Home

Job

Grammar

Origin/Location, e.g., Californian, Yankee, Southerner, etc.

Doing anything else is garrunteed to make you look stupid.

If you cannot argue or at least articulate your opponent’s point of view, how can you argue against it?

This link has some good advice:

http://www.unc.edu/depts/wcweb/handouts/argument.html 

it appears that you have provided my "foes" with ways to attack they may not have thought about.

Including:

Spelling been done

Ethnicity mentioned but not negatively

Gender tried by pajama something

Home been done (charlie vs my porch)

Job does retired old codger count?

Grammar been done

Origin/Location, e.g., Californian, Yankee, Southerner, etc. been done

the list left out:

attacks on family of debater

filthy language

snottyness disguised as sarcasm

remarks about physical appearance ie: height or weight.

threats of physical violence

i'm sure there are other debate no, no's, but that's the best i can do for now.

no it appears "they" have breached the rules of debate already, and so have i.

Thanks
