Some people argue using the red herring to deflect the argument,
Other attack the speaker or message(Ad hominum),
Others appeal to authority, opinion and belief,
Others present illogical arguments not understanding the concept of a principle, ie. what is sufficient and what is necessary to bring about a condition,
I've seen all this and more.
The correct methods to argue a point include:
1. Use of Principles
2. Cause and Effect
3. Compare and Contrast
4. Use of Experts
5. Use of Examples
If you stick to these methods, and watch out for logic flaws, you will make sense and be persuasive.
Just a thought.
