What logic is there in debating?

>>2958069

Name twenty seven debates where this ACTUALLY happens.

Dumb frogposter.

Do people really think "if" is a logical operator or something? Live long and prosper, kiddo.

>tfw someone calls you a virgin even though you're not, but to point this out would basically sound like "n-no I'm not!"
the other day I posted in a thread on a porn board. I was (to put it succinctly) criticising a particular cam whore's video for being unrealistic.
out of nowhere like 3 anons threw a fit and started crypto-whiteknighting for her and calling me a virgin, saying I'd know she wasn't faking it if I'd ever actually had sex.
I just ignored them and didn't reply because I couldn't think of anything clever to say.
is there anything you can do in that situation besides just ignoring them or going into full shitpost mode?

If there is an assertion, premise with an IF, it´s always implying that you have to prove that IF x is false or true.
You ought to learn logic not from spock but from a teacher of logic, if you want to know about logic.
