Evolution of an Argument with a GunLoon (Part III)
By now, your GunLoon will be pretty upset.
He will have been exposed as a purveyor of phony quotes and someone whose educational background is sadly lacking. This will turn them surly. If you’ve ever argued with a drunk, you’ll recognize the pattern. They’ve slowly come to the realization their ideas and belief systems are just so much gas. They realize they just can’t keep up.
This is when they’ll become abusive. They’ll call you all manner of names and ad hominems. If you return the abuse–they’ll go into full victim mode and accuse you of not wanting reasonable discourse™.
Ignore ‘em–drives ‘em crazy.
Of course, this is when they’ll up the ante and threaten you with physical harm as Sebastian Sassi has done to me. On several occassions. Sometimes, they’ll call your family and threaten them. It takes a real special ‘man’ to curse out a 9-year-old child. A special ‘man’ from Charleston, IL.
However, you ave to understand the GunLoon lives in a world of fear.
