Seriously, you gotta tone it down a little bit. I don't know if you're in a position to catch how condescending and abrasive you are being, but this is not how you win this fight. I'm earnestly trying to have a conversation about something which I know nothing about. You're trying to make me in to something else.

Do you know why evidence is so important? Because if you don't require someone back up their claims, they could say anything, and they could be lying out their ass, or at least be very misinformed, but it doesn't matter because there's no way of checking.

Yes, I understand that, but I don't like debating facts.

I shit you not. It still didn't turn me off from GG though, because I pay attention to what's going on around me.

Good for you.

What I actually said was that I wouldn't do such a thing because I don't have the temperament or the money to do so.

But you said that you could. You then outlined why not. Which is implying that under different circumstances, you would, but you're not that kind of person. The implication there is that I should be grateful for that.

Most people are convinced or not with reason and evidence.

Prove it.

Appealing to emotion is fallacy

In a logical debate, yes. But you shouldn't be trying to reason with them. You should be trying to convince them that they're being dolts.

I mean, seriously, if I told you the sky was blue, and you looked up and saw blue, but you just felt like it was green, would the sky then be green despite what your eyes are telling you?

But you shouldn't be trying to show people the truth through logic. That's a dead end. When people are emotionally invested in a situation, and form their arguments based upon emotion, you appeal to that emotion.

Again, I really hate these kinds of back-and-forths because it rarely generates good discourse.
