Links I will Never Accept

Sanctaphrax
15-06-2005, 19:29
Some of you may know me as an avidly Pro-Israel debater (no I do not want this to turn into a debate), however what you may not know, is that in a debate, I get very annoyed and normally leave when certain links are posted. If you wish me to take you seriously, never, ever, link from the following sites.
NOTE: This is just me, and Israel debates. If you debate something else and won't accept certain sites, post it here. That way you'll know what not to link to in a debate with someone. Consider this thread like a reference.

Stormfront- This should really go without saying. If you link to Stormfront, or any variation of it, expect me to laugh, loudly. Nothing they say is credible in my eyes.
Jewwatch- I saw this linked to today, and laughed when the poster tried to pass it off as credible. This is run by an incredibly anti-Jewish man, and one who I wouldn't trust to give me the time of day.
Al-Jazeera- Don't even try it, just don't!
Palestine-Remembered, Electronic-Intifada, or any similar websites- If its objectivity you're looking for, close that webpage.
Will add in more as I think of them. So what websites will you not accept in a debate?

Yeah, the jewwatch thing really pissed me off to. Especially since it was on my thread.

I won't accept links from fundamentalist organizations of any stripe. Nor neo-Nazi movements. Basically, hate groups are no-nos for me.

How can you 'not accept certain sites'? Just because a site has a stigma attached does not instantly make all its information uncredible. Why not try actually disproving the information that the person presents instead of instantly dismissing it as "biased"?

Well Matt, you try finding me something credible on Electronic Intifada or Stormfront. When you do, then we'll talk :)

Dobbsworld, I'm a bit slow on the uptake today, what do you mean?

I know I don't debate the subjects he presents (gays, America, American Gays) but personally I wouldn't accept anything Fred Phelps based.

But that's no fun. Plus, it requires brainpower...why would you use valuable brain power on someone who can't formulate their own opinions and leans on someone elses to make an argument?

I would say that sites with a definite partiality towards one side or another should not be consulted even if there is factual data simply because those sights might manipulate the facts to make one side look wrong or another right. Also, no hate group sites.

In my oppinion, if you have to lean on a hate site to win an argument, you've already lost. Really all I accept, at least as news goes, is CNN and the BBC. I'm not saying I won't accept anything else-I just find those to be the most credible. I'm willing to look at anything else you post, but I may take it with a grain of salt.

Sanctaphrax?

I just don't care what you may or may not 'accept' as a link. The other side of my brain is telling me you're hoping to collect a whole whack of offensive links right here on this thread, though presumably posted by other people who just don't care what you may or may not 'accept' as a link.

Either way, tough-o. I don't need to be whined at, lectured to, or otherwise informed of your special needs as a sensitive individual. Just do like the rest of us and suck it up. And just in case, I won't provide you any offensive links. In fact, the one thing I'll remember from this thread is to make a point of not providing you with links of any sort in future.

BBC? Surely one of the most reputable and fair sources of news coverage without bias and not scared to report things that some in authority would rather were 'overlooked'.

I find it difficult to take seriously stories from Fox News. Al-Jazeera is really quite moderate and objective, it's not particularly anti-American. It's similar to BBC in many of its values (unbiased, not scared to report things against governments etc - many of its staff are ex-BBC)... in fact it's been banned from many Arab dictatorships in the past for reporting the truth about their leaders.

Wow. Accused of being patronising not once, but TWICE in one post...Occ...yer on a roll today!

Sanct...by now you should be quite aware that if you want a debate that adheres to your rules, you're in the wrong place. Almost all threads degenerate at one point or another into flaming...if the other posters can rise above that, the thread can usually be saved. If not, time to try again.

You are never going to get people to agree to 'follow your rules', because frankly, you have no power. You want a debate that goes the way you like it? Get your own forum, some mod powers, and debate on.

We have rules here. They don't include what websites are 'acceptable' or not.

and, since you really seem to believe in thius forum, even the most rigid debate still is a pointless argument. in the end, its just you, shaking your fist at the monitor. and it wasnt a sharon flame. first of all, i beleive he hides it well. second of all, you dont want to know what i thionk of the entire isreal/palestine region.

I think that rather than having to reject source sites, you should simply rebut the arguments. Many biased sites have flaws in their arguments that a well-informed person can recognize and defeat without much difficulty. After a while, the sources would hopefully become more impartial because you can rebut the biased ones.

Well the first one is just a thread in a forum. I would consider it a viable source just like I would consider this thread one, in that it's just a bunch of people giving their opinions. I hardly have enough time to read that entire second link, since I'm not in any sort of position to actually have to refute it. But if I were, I would read the article and dissemble it point by point, instead of saying "Oh, it's from Stormfront, therefore it is invalid." That's the sign of an inferior debater.

Just don't bother responding to any more of Sanctaphrax's threads. That oughtta be safe enough.


As an aside, I only very rarely respond to Sanctaphrax's threads. I felt I should in this case because of the nature of the thread, which is, in my opinion, born of an inflated sense of self-importance.

What's really burning my ass is that Sanctaphrax is singling me out over in Moderation. It's pathetic really - he makes a stink about three or four people here, threatens Mod action, and then when I go take a look, all he's got is this:

"Either way, tough-o. I don't need to be whined at, lectured to, or otherwise informed of your special needs as a sensitive individual. Just do like the rest of us and suck it up. And just in case, I won't provide you any offensive links. In fact, the one thing I'll remember from this thread is to make a point of not providing you with links of any sort in future."

He's got nothing on anyone else, and this is the worst he's got on me. This is pretty sad.

He then follows up with an easy out:

"Wow, so much flaming going around, I think locking the thread would be best. Sorry for the trouble mods, but if you could lock it and dish out whatever punishments you see fit."

Feh.

He mentioned Occidio Multus by name as well.

Commentary only. Now show me a story that they ran that was bias.
Well I can tell you that they have a definitive bias in their coverage of Canada. I remember specifically the fuss they made when they weren't accepted to broadcast over here.

And I remeber their coverage of the military man who went AWOL to Canada and want to be accepted as a refugee. Nothing whatsoever was mentionned on how things work here, on why we didn't give him back immediatly or any other concern than what they felt was a insult to the US.

And let's not even cover the show like O' Reilly where he cuts the mic of his guests and go straigth to the source of my contention: Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News, has issued internal memos advocating the support of Bush in their coverage.

Fox News is biased and what's worse, they want us to believe that they are FAIR and BALANCED. Hell, they sue over this sentence, claiming to have copyrighted the terms.

nice try. people like sanctaphrax will stay up all night when "winnning' a debate, and having mass amounts of much desired attention lavished upon them on this forum. he signed off because he sensed an argument, with the wrong people, those formidable opponents being Myself, Sinahue, Sdaeriji, and Dobbs.

Four muck-rackin' shit-kickers if ever there were any, Multus.

I know I'd've gotten the Hell outta Dodge.

Hell, sometimes I scare myself.

Sanctaphrax was owned by you four and he ran away. I just sat back and watched.

you have one loud mouthed ,mean, sarcastic, narcissictic , nihilistic, brutally honest bitch

one well read, well thought ,well reasoned, patient history scholar

one unflappable, unstoppable, unbeatable , unemotional, unrelenting politico

and then you have SINAHUE, who defies explaination, except for the word- awesome
( i could say she is a fly-your-face- crazed lactating native who has read more books and started more arguments than anyone on here, but that doesnt fit quite so well. but i know it made her laugh.

Hehehehe...reading through this, I was trying to figure out which one was me...until I realised you'd left me 'till the end:)

And I'm no longer lactating. That's right...the baby is OFF the tit! YAYA!

Am I dumb 'cause I can't recognize myself by your description, Multus?

Unflappable, unstoppable, unbeatable, unemotional, unrelenting politico.

I only know because the first one is obviously Occidio, the last one is obviously Sinuhue, and I'm a history student, so that leaves you. Unstoppable is a pretty good descriptor to have.

Wow.

Thanks Multus!

And to think I've never made any of those "greatest whatsit on NS" lists...

...actually come to think of it, I'm kinda glad to have been left out of those reindeer games...

"Unemotional"?

No Vulcan I!

Oh geez, you're right...I'd forgotten.

How I miss Dobbs Town.

I reasoned to myself that Dobbs Town just balkanized, so I made up a whole crop of various Dobbs Towns...still keep 'em up, too - but somehow Dobbsworld has become my fave.

Memories...
