Given the fact that I think this forum is great...there are a few things that really bug me.
1) Fallacious Arguments: is a pattern of reasoning which is always or at least most commonly wrong. I'm not saying that debating doesn't have its share of poor argumentation, just that some DST'ers don't get the concept of debating.
2) point number one
3) no DST subforums.
4) point number two
5) extremist: i will define this as people who have only one opinion and will nit pick at whatever examples they can to promote this one point of view. they want to make a point and that is their only purpose. in other words, debate is only a means to an end to these folks.
6) ATG's virtual chest hair in Jahman's sig
7) Spamming: a good counter argument can easily be spammed into oblivion by making an incendiary, not-so-relevant response. Legal, but not what good debating is about.
8) Kmarion: too civil
9) Cameronpoe: makes tintin out to be a communist.
10) Bubbalo: too lizzard
11) ATG: aside from the chest hair...needs to get his mind (and business) out of the gutter (drain)_...
12) Overzealous moderating: Not really a huge problem but I should mention that DST is not like the rest of the forum. Borderline sarcastic flaming is par for the course...that's fine as long as the argument makes a point.
13) Did I mention number 4?
14) usmarine: how someone need to make 10 posts for every 1 karma they receive is beyond me. at some point you'd give up...no?!
15) bertstar: too much pot...dude...but, dude...
16) sergeriver: argentina...wtf!? aside from gorgeous women, what gives these guys the right to have a point of view.
17) did i mention number 13?
18) DST bullies: you know who you are...take it easy on the new comers...
19) did i mention 17?
20) people who don't enjoy my very very dry humor.
