Debating Tips

Creatards frequently like to drop by this site for a friendly chat. If you are inclined to extend the classic BoF hospitality to them, you might find yourself in a light discussion of trivial matters.
To assist in your enjoyment, the Watcher recently posted an article about debating tactics. It’s an excellent introduction that is worth reading. He also links to a good discussion of logical fallacies.

Awesome, I think this stuff is very important. If people were taught about logical fallacies in elementary/middle school, I think there’d be a drop in the number of fundies. Good post!
