[edit] Introduction

Argumenticons are kind of like emoticons for showing the structure of an argument or discussion.

This is a growing seedling article. You can help Issuepedia by watering it.

• the argumenticons category is where we will keep all our argumenticon images and templates

[edit] Example

For practical use, we'll have templates... but here is an example of the general idea, for now:

Stuff exists!

Indeed, nothing could be more true!

That is an utter load of foetid dingo's kidneys!

Even if stuff is a load of foetid dingo's kidneys, foetid dingo's kidneys do in fact exist and therefore so does stuff!

The same thing, with templates:

Stuff exists!

Indeed, surveys show that nothing could be more true!

That is an utter load of foetid dingo's kidneys!

Even if stuff is a load of foetid dingo's kidneys, foetid dingo's kidneys do in fact exist and therefore so does stuff!

I'm going to leave all the support/counter icons the same size for now, at least until it becomes clear that we have a use for the other sizes.

[edit] Rules

Points are supporting () if they support the current new point (). If a point supports the current counterpoint (), then it is also a counterpoint. If it argues against the current counterpoint, then it is a supporting point.
