Please ban ZZZzzzzzzz. He debases every thread in which he participates.

Quote from armoured saint:

You may not be aware of this ..

'Debate' is part art and part 'science'. A good debate is akin to a Greko-Roman wrestling match where you PUSH and SHOVE and PULL as you try to get your opponent off balance. Your 'muscles' are primarily FACT, but barbs, mis-direction, and even ad hominem as you test for weakness in your opponent's position. It's all part of debating. Z is a provocateur, this characteristic is dominant in his debates. Nothing wrong with that. Recently I debated him, he tried it all but I was undaunted. i turned it all back on him. it was fun. each has his or her own style. maybe you shouldn't debate is your skin is exceptionally thin

I bet you couldn't wait to white glaze your knuckles after feeling undaunted. Must be a wonderful feeling to find manhood in debating anonymous posters on ET and measuring your dauntiness.

Ok, please help me get this straight:

Let's say you & LoZZZer were to have an argument over which actor played Superman in the 70's & 80's films of the same name:
You claim that the part was played by Christopher Reeve, while LoZZZer steadfastly and repeatedly insists that Superman was in fact played by Sean Connery, all while repeatedly calling you a complete idiot and laughing hysterically at your 'ignorance'... <b>Would that be your idea of a 'good debate'?</b>

One of those “no”votes was mine.
There's nothing Z does that others don't do also. Shall we also ban hapaboy and ddoo, and rcan? I say no.

We all have a choice to respond to what somebody else writes. And a choice to not respond. It's not up to big brother (ET) to attempt to protect us from opinions and or just plain bullsht.

Being your own boss is tough sometimes.

i voted no also. if you don't like someone put them on ignore.

i do however support banning doodoo since wael got the boot. doodoo is far worse and i would rather not see anyone go.. but its only fair since they got rid of his debate partner.

Yeah, I agree.
Banning just one of em, is like being offended by two gays, and punishing the catcher but not the pitcher.
As if “That” makes a difference.

Quote from traderNik:

...he suggested in a chat room that Hap should be told his kids might be subjected to pedophilic attack. He claimed to be joking.

Quote from Thunderdog:

It is interesting that you should note pedophilia, since that was the very basis of my outrage when I started this thread. Oh, yes, by all means, let us preserve this troll's right to free speech at all costs.

We are at odds here, Nik. ZZZzzzzzzz is a worthless toad. He is a troll. He should not be here if this is indeed a moderated forum. High-minded principals are only as good as the outcomes they generate. So while you're busy waving the flag, ZZZzzzzzzz is laughing at you. Perhaps you should also give him your lunch money. And please don't give me the argument about the "big picture." Any picture of any size is a product of the individual pixels that comprise it. Twist and turn as you like, squint as much as you want, ZZZzzzzzzz is still a bad pixel. Forgive me if I don't admire your championing his right to debase every thread in which he participates.

My what a difference a year makes!

First Thunderpussy goes apeshit calling for the resident troll's banishment, then lambasts those who are merely trying to point out the troll's perversities, which Thunderpussy states were the very basis for him starting this thread to begin with.

Is Thunderpussy schizophrenic?

I did not "lambast" (sic) you. I merely thought it was fascinating that YOU, a TROLL, would complain about someone else's conduct. Your trolling this thread is the cherry on top.

Yeah, leave it to a moonbat Canadian to make the moral equivalency argument that protesting pedophilia is as bad as defending it or even engaging in it.

You're a nutjob. Hopefully you live alone and therefore are minimally harmful to others.

There's that comprehension deficit again. Frankly, I admire the courage it must take for you to try and make it in the world today with little more than a brain stem.

There's that whole dodge thing again. Frankly, your ability to evade when your ridiculous "arguments" are laid bare almost rivals that of the very person who is the subject of this thread.

It's a shame you two don't get along since you have SO much in common: intellectual dishonesty, rank hypocrisy, a fear of rational discourse, ad hominem as your first line of defense, etc., etc.

If you are truly honest with yourself, I believe you will discover that you called for his banishment because he reminded you too much of yourself, which speaks to the level of your self-loathing.

Get a clue, boyo....

Tdog, my beef in this issue is not with you. Sorry for my part in letting this back and forth between you and I get this far.
