>After wearing down your opponent you then accuse them of being dogmatic and refusing to present evidence. Of course the evidence is never good enough because there always exists some shred of doubt that will provide the Society the benefit of the doubt. You might think it is boasting on my part but actually it is sheer desperation.
Honestly. I genuinely feel that if I continue to debate with you and Greg they will have to carry me off in a basket.

In regards to the type of argumentation you defined:
This is what I really despise, hair-splitting and legalistic tactics to avoid the issue or belabor a point. It is patently dishonest.
I get angry then go on the offensive. I am tryng to corral that tendency nowadays.
