| + | ==Rules for online debate, in a nutshell:== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Links point to web pages. The web pages contain arguments. (An argument is one or more statements showing a logical connection between a given set of evidence and a given conclusion.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | You may accept the arguments as valid, or you may criticize them for using either bad logic or incorrect starting facts. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you make either of these criticisms, then we either have to (a) accept that the page's argument is invalid, or (b) show how _your_ criticism (which is also an argument) is invalid, using the same criteria (bad logic or incorrect facts). | ||
| + | |||
| + | These rules are symmetrical; you can present evidence from web sites as well, and the same process applies. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It's considered good form to summarize the argument -- or, more to the point, the specific _applicable_ argument(s) one wants to highlight -- from a linked web page when one posts it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It doesn't negate your argument if you _don't_ do this, but in my view if person A posts a link, person B asks for a synopsis (summary of the argument), and person A refuses to provide one, then that does seriously weaken person A's position. | ||
