      • Robert Kelly Sad attempt to refudiate your cunning attempt at being funny. Bold statement that only makes me sound stupid.

      • Zachary Noyce Hypothetical flight of fancy attempting to demonstrate the fallacy of someone else's argument but which only makes me appear like an alarmist nutcase.

      • Zachary Noyce Internally and externally contradictory anecdote which I almost certainly made up on the spot but that vaguely resembles Anthony's. Conclusion with no logical connection to the content of my story.

      • Robert Kelly anecdote to lighten the mood, with a biting undertone to state my side of the argument... add abbreviation simulating a laugh at my own joke.

      • Zachary Noyce Misrepresentation of constitution and framer's intent. Founding father quote so divorced from context as to offer no real insight but presented here as an unquestionable endorsement of my opinion. (Implicit assumption of unanimity among early American political thinkers.)

      • Tanner Barker Radical interpretation of the constitution, secondary source quote of Thomas Jefferson. Reaffirmation of inconsistent bias.

      • Matthew Barker Attempting a comment without "tion". Ope. Darn. Failed.

      • Robert Kelly Pointing out fallacies in spelling instead of in statement, attempting to make one sound stupid. Adding no real value to long string of comments by using too many words to explain my point of view. Ending with "that's all I am trying to say".

      • Zachary Noyce Assertion of my position's moral superiority along with a bible quotation.

      • Robert Kelly Misunderstanding your use of the bible and telling you that it has nothing to do with the subject at hand. Insulting your religious views even though they match my moral views.

  1. Ahahaha! That pretty much sums up every internet argument ever. Now, just conclude the argument with some comparison to Nazis (if attacking) or the Holocaust (if garnering sympathy), and we're done.

    Oh, internets.
