Israel's Gaza Shitshow: 26 Dead, Beit Lahiya Residents Told to GTFO

TL;DR:

1. Name-calling is weak. 2. Ad hominem attacks are weak. 3. Criticizing tone is weak. 4. Contradiction needs evidence. 5. Counterargument can be convincing. 6. Refutation is strongest, refute the central point. 7. Classifying disagreement helps identify dishonest arguments. 8. Being less mean makes people happier.
