I'm starting to think you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
How exactly do you think it would end if the government tried to declare an Iwi or an environmental org were in fact a gang? Do you think the NZ public would stand for that?
Start with an ad hominem. Right, I can probably dismiss any other arguments...
Half the public would cheer it on.
Sure they would, buddy. Whatever you say.
Well that was an easy block decision
Charming... The main rule is 'don't be a dick', no need to come in strong.
You are correct that they had an 'emotional argument' (as opposed to a rational one - I'm sure there's better terms for these), but need you be so obnoxious about it?
It's not that they had an emotional argument, it's that every comment I've seen from them lately has been off the deep end, and there's not really any nice way of telling them that.
