Leader said:Again, I'm not going to use someone else's work. If I felt like the thread needed an update, I would update it myself, rather than using someone else's thread.
Premortal said:The only between you updating it and borrowing some ideas from the other user's thread is that you would be using the other user as a source instead of Wikipedia.
Leader said:Or using my current knowledge of what works in debates and what doesn't. Plus, I wouldn't use Wikipedia.
Premortal said:Why would you hinder your thread by not using information from sources that have much more knowledge regarding debating than you do?
Leader said:I didn't say I would use other sources, nor did I claim to have more knowledge in the subject than anyone else.
Premortal said:I never said that you claimed to have more knowledge in the subject than anyone else. I said that it would be beneficial to your thread if you were to add information to it that came from more knowledgeable sources. I also never said that you would use other sources, I said that it would be beneficial if you did. Please listen.
Leader said:I did use other sources for my thread.
Premortal said:Then why the hell did you say otherwise in your last post?
Leader said:I said I'd never copy another user's thread.
Leader said:I didn't say I would use other sources
Leader said:I did use other sources for my thread.
Premortal said:Actually, this is what you said.
I really don't know what to believe.
Leader said:Meant to say, "I didn't say I wouldn't use other sources." I'm on an iPad.
Proofreading
Always, always, always proofread for errors, fallacies, illogic, missing sources, etc. A short read-through of your thread and/or reply will save you time and effort when having to respond to claims about your thread. Make sure all of your sources are listed and that you aren't using fallacious arguments when debating. These errors can be easily spotted by your opponent and will be quickly turned against you.
Premortal said:Well, look what I just stumbled upon.
The little 4 post altercation between us could have been completely avoided if you had proofread your post or stated beforehand that you were using a mobile device and I should expect some errors.
