"During a Gish gallop, a debater confronts an opponent with a rapid series of many specious arguments, half-truths, and misrepresentations in a short space of time"
It's another shift of burdon technique where you exert almost no effort to make your half truth, untrue claims, etc and your opponent has to spend massive time & energy going point-by-point disproving you.
Basically, he uses techniques to purposely waste our time & energy.
This is why I blocked him and his "TheSqueeler" nic almost 2 years ago now.

I've known this for awhile. Glad to see I'm not the only one aware of it. Its the same way Paul Markham makes his arguments. I'm just making sure other people reading these threads understand what is truly going on and don't fall for the traps set by these trolls.
