Where is ā€œthe strawmanā€?

Counters a valid complaint or criticism with the game with ā€œwell i bet you want X thenā€ to drive the conversation away from the original point.

See: Account bound essences and well you would want BoA gear then too!

You forgot the Last Worder, something many are guilty of.

Being right or wrong doesn’t matter, as long as you get the last word. Otherwise you can’t sleep.

Don’t forget The Denier:

This type often uses one or more of the other fighting techniques and when called out on it vehemently denies use of the fighting techniques and usually has other deniers rush to their defense. Deniers typically have a large post count (though not all people with large post counts are deniers) due to their constant bickering and need to reassure themselves that they have no faults.

The logical fallacy ninja they hit you with a barrage of absurdity but when you fight them back with irrefutable logic they vanish in a smoke cloud and you cant catch them

I don’t believe they exist. :wink:

I hate this so much! People that do this are so fracking ridiculous! Just type what you want to say… one quote, ok. I’d understand if responding to a long list of numbered questions… MAYBE… even then it seems like try-hard

You’re forgetting…

The Interrupting Ghost.
They claim to have no opinion on the current topic but feel compelled to ā€œcontributeā€ anyway.
And then, if someone dares question their wishy-washy nonsense, will go on and on, and on, about how they don’t really care about said topic and how they don’t understand why they’re being ā€œattacked.ā€

The dirt worst.

You forgot the best one of all

The flag spammer: This individual spams the report system on posts they do not like. Regardless of the reason. They use the report system this way because blizzard removed the downvote feature.

Hmmm I think this is under one of the feature’s of ā€œThe houndā€. But sadly I am getting way more fighting techniques, I’m gonna have to make a 2nd list soon. I just need a few more.

You’re missing Falacy Man!

Hmm I think he is covered under the Info-Maniac.

HASTY GENERALIZATION FALLACY. slap

I’m not sure if it happens often enough to count but here’s another.

The Stonewall- The individual insists on a single point and never changes, essentially wearing their opponents down through pure tedium and repetition. Eventually no one is even willing to argue, knowing it will be a waste of time and effort.
