    Something I saw on the tweeters, but it's something we should all abide by.

    5 and 9 appear to be the same.

    8 is a pet peeve of mine. The burden of proof rests with he who makes the assertion. Debate 101

    That's why I suggest the 'ignore' feature. When you feel someone excessively pushing your buttons to the point where you feel like exploding into a tirade, just put that person on ignore. Poof, problem solved.

    #10 also can be the opposite (at least, I think so). Arguing against something just because it's popular.

    I thought that was lame and uncalled for until recently.

    It happens to all of us who are a bit out there. You can't make a point in a strong way without upsetting someone. You've got to be yourself as long as you periodically review your position in an honest way for correctness. A person's view on orrectness may very well evolve in a positive way with time and thoughtful self reviews.

    Here's another thing I learned in group theory for business people. When you get a strong reaction questioning your view, you ought to review your position in a timely manner because you just might be wrong. Then comes the hard part, admitting you're error when you change your position.

    #1 was obviously written by a stupid person.
    #2 says you can't talk about another person's position, which is bullshit.
    #3 is wrong, which proves this list is bogus.
    #4 is nonsense because the fourth item in a list is always nonsense
    #5 isn't valid because lots of bad arguments have been made since it was written.
    #7 has never been proven to be a good rule, therefore it's wrong
    #8 will give you herpes - I dare you to produce evidence to the contrary
    #9 is a bad rule because my car is red
    #10 is wrong, everyone knows that

    Good that you posted this. Don't have a dash cam but if I do get one I just learned something.

    If that happens, pretend you don't and act sorry and wait for the cops to get there and tell them you have it on video.

    The perp ran away knowing he would go to jail..

    I would have done that. Been all sympathetic till the cops got there to keep them there, then been like guess what I've got a camera. Took me a second to realize the other guy was part of the scam. Thats the worst faking of getting hit by a car I have ever seen.

    Michael Cohen would be embarrassed by those guys. They bring shame on the industry.

    I love good debates and respectfully discussing ideas and opinions and world views. I think the best rule is to do as little debating of “important” subjects on the internet...

    Well yeah, my dad's been dead for 50 years. Died in a fishing accident on the lower Deschutes near Maupin.

    It gets really bad when you say your dad can beat up Nurk's dad. Good luck.
