If a bad argument is dressed up in emotional appeals and it wins the day (leading to new legislation, for example) it doesn't retroactively become a good argument by virtue of winning. The point of the debate is surely not to be the winner, but to arrive at the best solution.
If you honestly want to convince people of the merit of your stance, stay objective, address others' objections and even prepare to accept opposing points of view (as the final ideal will surely be a compromise of positions). This, here, is not politics. -- smst ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smst's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=752 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34928 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
