(62,325 posts)use. Ever since then I have found it very instructive. Reading the exchange above, I saw no constructive addressing of the actual issue, but a lot of use of pronouns for baseless and accusatory purposes 'you did this, you did that' kind of child-like behavior that is generally corrected before the age of four. Personal attacks tend to contain a lot of that sort of thing, but not much else.
I think those who engage in that kind of personal attack still believe it is effective. Someone needs to tell them it was only effective for a very short time when honest people actually thought they were simply uninformed. Now that we know it is a tactic designed by some moronic think tank somewhere, it could not be less effective, other than to destroy the credibility of anyone still falling back on what was always an idiotic way to try to 'win' something on the internet. I have a feeling the failure rate of those tactics must be in the 90% ratings.
