Be honest now. Because I'm gonna be honest too. I'm Example B. Explanation below.


Example A: When you debate other Rams fans, it's not always important that you come out on top of the discussion, and you make sure that the person you're debating is heard and acknowledged - maybe even validated. Doesn't change the fact that you could be right, you just don't need to prove it.

Example B: When you debate other Rams fans, it's pretty important that you come out on top of the discussion, and you make sure that the person you're debating knows it. You get kind of annoyed at the idea of someone posting things that you know are wrong, and you gotta set things straight.

----

As I said, I'm a B type of guy. In the end, anyway. I throw some Example A in there when having a normal discussion, but hot topic stuff drops me a grade almost immediately. So in my case, the Example A thing is always my intent going in, but at my core I'm Example B. The thing I need to avoid, personally, is trying to take my debate partner down a peg in the process. On here anyway. At places where that's the norm (*cough* RamSTALK *cough*), I do enjoy a good character assassination from time to time. That's the price, or benefit depending on how you look at it, of a largely unmoderated forum like that.

both..

i always give my opinion and stand by it but i'm not so stubborn that i won't be convinced... If I feel that I'm wrong or agree with someone elses point of view stronger than mine,i have no issue switching sides.

But I will back up and debate my opinion with my reasoning and perception.

I'm option Z................n :tooth: JK.
I Vaseline between the two, mostly it depends upon my impression of who I'm discussing it with ,the smarter I think the guy is the more I figure he can handle me being strident, IF I think he's a dummie I make a snide remark or two and go on.

FWIW if I'll argue with ya, it's a compliment , cuz I figure you are smart enough to agree with me :ww:

Yeah, I'm riding the fence again. But I am competitive and if I'm convinced I'm right, I'm not bashful but I do respect opinions and can see the light from another's view, sometimes.

im a B guy most debates are opinion not fact and that is where they get a little heated. one person sees it one way and one sees it another way. its tough if you think your way is the only way.

Depends who I'm talking to, but for the most part I simply won't communicate with someone who I see as a douche.

I don't post anywhere on the Internet with the intent of trying to prove myself. However, some posters I see on other boards appear to only post in order to create some fantasy of importance. These are some socially handicapped mother fuckers.

I have argued with a small number of these misfits in the past, and still may take a stab at em in a time of boredom... but those people really aren't worth my time.

I'm going with A.

I'm solidly a B guy. I win all my arguments and am never wrong. I have all the info and stats I need at the tips of my fingers down here in my mom's basement. I will occasionally turn A on you if I am warned by the moderators but that will be very short lived because it is always about me winning the thread. And of course my logic is always flawless and superior. In a shape shifting sort of way that is. :mrgreen:

Oh... You're talking about US here. I think I'm kinda both. I actually don't engage all that many posters here. I feel more like I am just sorta bullshitting with you guys. Probably a good thing we got rid of politics here cuz you'd all feel the Schwartz of my B side. :7up:

I voted "A".

I don't know if I always perform at that "level" because I like different opinions.

Oh, and, no patience for trolling opinions.

A most of the time - although there are occasions Im a B.

It basically depends on whether I think I really know about an issue or not. I'm willing to acknowledge that there are people more knowledagble about the game than me, who might have coached, or played at a higher level than me for example, or just see something I don't or can't.

But a lot depends on the tone of the person I'm arguing against....

Honestly...B. I'd like to say A but that would be a total lie. I am very opinionated and a tad arrogant about my knowledge of the game so when I believe I am right, I will not walk away from the debate.

But I try to stay civil here and try not to totally disregard posters opinions on this board. There are some posters on other boards that I totally disregard their opinions because they don't have any credibility with me based on their history.
