ReplyDeleteWell, the reading level of the article is a bit high for Kevin, as evidenced by the fact that he had to ask about the content. I do salute his continuing efforts to educate himself, however.

ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me, the article is missing two important techniques:
1) Physical Threat
"I believe your opinion would be different with my foot up your ass."
2) Appeal to Spurious Authority
"Well, I'm the last person to win a game of Mario Kart. Therefore you are wrong."
