I'm pretty surprised he just left in a ladder game though, that's pretty unusual. I've also started doing it lately. If someone starts being lame as lifting buildings, lagging uncontrollably past 2 minutes or pausing for long, I usually just leave. I think most foreigners are taking iccup ladder way too seriously, it's just a tool for practise. | ||

I don't even understand how people can do such shit. And even if he was BM before, what is this attitude to BM back? How old are you guys? | ||

Pulling negative spin on an opponent's ideas." Like comparing the saying 'two wrongs don't make a right' with someone randomly smashing you in the face and not being allowed to do anything back. I did actually point out why it was a strawman, I only accompanied it with the word strawman to make it easier for the other side to realize the weakness of the argument so the other person doesn't endlessly repeat the argument anyway. | ||

This is just one particular sub-forum, it doesn't mean icc ignores disc etc. OP asked if he could be reported for bm. I quoted the subforum for BM reporting.

I think iCCup does give wins if your opponent leaves under 2 mins and he was at a disadvantage, just not extra points for BM. You don't get a win for reporting leavers under 2 minutes but they will be subtracted -100, and increased amounts of 100 per offense. | ||

This time I do agree with Frits because it was indeed a ridiculously bad analogy that had nothing to do with the subject lol | ||

If people knew that initiating BM would lead to longer more annoying games and BM back at them they would be less likely to do it. Not BMing back is just being an enabler. | ||

But sometimes the guy calling strawman is wrong because it was actually a good analogy that he just couldn't understand.

Actually I was very recently punched in the face by some guy for no reason whatsoever, that's why I used it as an example, my point was that his gay little idiom thing, while technically true, will deliver injustice in many instances. The two hardly compare you know. And even if someone were to punch you in the face why would you hit back? I've been punched several times for no reason because i work part-time as a bouncer, but I've never punched anyone back. | ||

Dude... That's probably the worst way to define a strawman argument... Strawman argument is just when you compare an argument to something else, and then attack the something else instead of the argument (hence the name  ). It has nothing to do with distorting the argument, it's ignoring the argument altogether.EX: 1: two wrongs don't make a right 2: saying two wrongs don't make a right is like saying -2 x -2 doesn't equal 4, and that's clearly wrong. 1: What? Person one is obviously talking about moral issues. Person two then claims that person one's argument is just like this other argument, and then proceeds to claim victory attacking the much weaker, but irrelevant argument. @ OP... If you would have done that whether he called you a noob or not, you're a BM little jerkoff... There's no way you can come back from something like that... However... Whenever someone offensive gg's or is otherwise 'verbally' insulting you, you can pretty much do whatever you want and call it karma. Their strategy and what they chose to build (proxy gateway cheese) is not a reason to do this though. | ||

No in terms of seriousness they don't compare, but the principle is the same and the point remains, if someone punches you in the face you're ENTITLED to hit them back, if someone BMs you you're ENTITLED to BM back, simple fact. | ||
