24. No. It does not work that way. It is your claim, you have to support it

If you don't support it, then it remains a random twitter allegation.

That is widely recognized as a cheap debating tactic to make a wild claim and then demand that the other side do all the heavy lifting of evidence. It is the Number One tactic of Russian bots and the ilk they support. Join us and recognize it and refuse to indulge in it.

The other cheap debating tactic is to pose an unprovable negative and then demand that the other side prove it. What Sirius interview? When? Where is the link? At what time stamp? I'm not obligated to listen to a 10 minute / 20 minute / hour interview to find your evidence for you.

Finally, extraordinary claims demand extra ordinary evidence. Claiming illegal or unethical behaviour of a person is on the face of it extraordinary and demands proper supporting evidence. Apparently you have NO EVIDENCE.

It remains an unsupported random twitter allegation.

Christie, you detestable fat fuck! calimary Oct 2020 #16

I have asked for and not received a reliable source for that allegation. Do you have one? Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2020 #17

Perhaps you should show the tweeter is unreliable and also confront them with the allegation. hlthe2b Oct 2020 #18

No. It does not work that way. It is your claim, you have to support it Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2020 #24

It is not my claim hlthe2b Oct 2020 #25

It's your claim because you asserted it here. You have NO EVIDENCE & neither did the other thread.nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2020 #26

Please keep up your combative attacks. hlthe2b Oct 2020 #27

Is there a source for this? rainin Oct 2020 #29

Word "stutter" or subword not mentioned once in whole article. No evidence of your stutter claim Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2020 #34

I realize you want so much to defend Christie. Perhaps his COVID-19 diagnosis has you so upset. hlthe2b Oct 2020 #36

What? I second Bernardo de La Paz's comment. As much as I'd love for it to be true, at this point rainin Oct 2020 #39

Nothing I wrote defends Christie. I defend critical thinking and oppose unsupported allegations. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2020 #40

He didn't mention stutter, disability, speech patterns, anything that supports rainin Oct 2020 #37
