1. I can't think of an example off the top of my head, but then again, I don't get into many arguments. I do know it has happened multiple times though and I always thank the other person for enlightening me.Fappy said:

It depends. If you're just quoting the person and don't plan on editing it at all it's easy. If you plan on making any changes it can be a massive pain in the ass. And if you plan on quoting multiple people and editing them then you're just asking for trouble, especially if your phone has a habit of not clicking where you want to and deleting too much if you hold the backspace button for a billionth of a second too long.FPLOON said:

None as far as I can remember. It's mostly because I can't be arsed to deal with said arguments most of the time, but also because I probably would have gotten myself banned by now if I did try to add my two cents into some of the arguments I've seen around here.Fappy said:
If I can get a good chuckle out of it sure, but 99% of the time that doesn't happen so I try to just avoid it. Besides, Jut about every time I've tried to keep up with the latest bit of drama I usually end up wanting to bludgeon one side or both over the head.
Hmm... where would you say gigantically awesome nerd fits on there?

1) Several times. Conceding defeat is the conerstone of getting the respect you need to have a proper argument in the first place. Sometimes its just to pieces of arguments though.Fappy said:
You are in a time beyond time itself, in a dimension too complex for your puny mortal mind to comprehend.PsychicTaco115 said:
Giving respect entails getting respect usually. While conceding is a great way to gain respect, that is usually post-debate. Whenever a discussion comes up always listen to both sides, use non inflammatory language, and submit your ideas from a place of understanding or supportive thought. That almost always makes for a perfectly civil debate. I try my best to post in that way, and it makes avoiding huge fights or anger easier.sageoftruth said:
Well, I don't really remember the Escapist before the Games Industry Foul play times. That was going well before Gamergate. Lots of "Fuck EA"s and other stuff like that. Then there was some stuff that still persists today, like questions about your gaming preferences, or requests for ideas for new games, like "Where should the next Assassins Creed take place?" We also had some content producers who are no longer part of the Escapist, like MovieBob, who was known for making statements that sparked lots of backlash, or a bunch of webcomics that got updated weekly the way Critical Miss is right now. Things are different now, only in the sense that our content producers are different, but I don't really prefer the old ones over the new ones of vice versa. Besides, most of the old ones just moved elsewhere on the internet, so it never really feels like we lost them.HybridChangeling said:
