  1. Always put the link Charlie, it looks better when it looks like you're giving due credit, not trying to hide the facts... as you can see, it's worse doing that because then you give them an excuse to attack you for that. You - are - not responsible for your community jumping on someone, especially when you've told them NOT to do that. I mean, you don't have direct control over anyone's actions and if they really wanna do that then you couldn't stop them anyway. DarkViper picked very deliberate language, if that wasn't the interpretation he wanted people to take, then he should have worded it differently. It was intentional to make that mental connection, no amount of "hyperbole" covers for that. It's a BS excuse for a BS analogy and he has to take the heat for that now. You make specific statements, expect specific responses and deal with the specific consequences. This is presentation and debate 101. Also, it's nice to see DarkViper's integrity when he claims you're presenting misinformation and misrepresenting his arguments, while doing his little Ctrl+F stunt and very specifically not looking for the words he actually used int he document to hone in on that section in question. Yeah, he wrote it, he knows what he wrote and he's intentionally using words he didn't use to try and make a point when you were commenting on the ones he did, which you pointed out more than once in both your video and this follow-up. DarkViper didn't include references to his own research and statistics which leaves people reading his document to conclude that he has no sources. Again, it's almost like he intentionally kept vital information to himself just so he could whip it out in his defense when- inevitably -people started to criticize his arguments. He doesn't get to pull out the statics and data now and act like it was all there in his presentation, it wasn't. Therefore, no-one but him could have had a clue where he was getting that information from or validate its legitimacy.

  2. Yeah, aggressive language isn't just saying horrible things or outright attacking someone, it's tone, volume and body language too, and people that rely on that while presenting their arguments do it in order to shake up the person they're presenting them to and put them back on the defensive, which is their natural response. If DarkViper doesn't realize he's doing that, he really needs to recognize how he's coming at people and work to improve it. Otherwise, he'll never get his points across the way he'd want them to.

  3. He does seem like someone that comes out on the attack more than coming for a discussion.

  4.  @maciektheguywithaweirdname  I mean, if you're always coming out on the attack, don't be surprised that people go on the defensive around you. It may be his "thing", but that doesn't make it an effective way to communicate, discuss or have meaningful arguments.
