That concern doesn't apply here at all ...@Muga<br /><br />That concern doesn't apply here at all in any way for 3 reasons:<br /><br />1. If Matt Mercer et aldidn't want to answer questions about their accusations, they could have simply not made them.<br /><br />2. I was the one with more, or as-many followers in most of these situations and I've managed to answer questions very easily, so they can, too.<br /><br />3. When asked questions in private, it turns out the harassers -do have answers and time to answer- they just were avoiding doing it while the spotlight was on them.Zak Sabbathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812410680077034917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-49269170147731850802021-10-23T03:55:55.411-07:002021-10-23T03:55:55.411-07:00I'm not going to defend the way you've bee...I'm not going to defend the way you've been treated, or most of the examples you gave. But I do worry that, in some contexts, what was normal discussion becomes asymmetric.<br /><br />If a person has a large enough online presence, it becomes literally impossible for them to respond to everything. Even offline, when someone is unusual in some way (not just talking about social justice here, just random stuff like vegetarianism or obvious tattoos), they're often going to face the exact same basic questions/objections over and over from everybody.Mugahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442609211483253357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-80998110304285245702021-10-06T22:39:21.132-07:002021-10-06T22:39:21.132-07:00@ZCE

Examinations are evidence though, not the actual discussion itself. In court essentially you are arguing against not with the other party, you are arguing in a Socratic Method sense with the judge - providing evidence and analysis to influence the judge to eliminate contradictory conclusions.<br /><br />Discussions/arguments between a litigant and the court are definitely Socratic i.e. cooperative, a litigant vs judge do not (hopefully) start with different points of view. Of course some judges engage more than others at the trial level, but essentially "arguments" - the dialectic - back and forth between litigants are basically just spouting evidence. The analysis is the Socratic argument with the court. Oral argument on appeals are certainly a Socratic Method argument with the court.<br /><br />Ha, you have to know your audience in court is NOT the other litigants, it is the judge.Matrox Luschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01087871508197025467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-67574100941608191942021-10-03T23:05:25.414-07:002021-10-03T23:05:25.414-07:00hi zak just wanted to let you know to keep it up i...hi zak just wanted to let you know to keep it up i use your demon city dungeon idea for WFRP games and it works out super well. probably the best investigation stuff I've seen yeaWFRPfagnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-10845289357290278622021-10-03T05:29:12.191-07:002021-10-03T05:29:12.191-07:00Ricky the Dragon steamboatRicky the Dragon steamboatZak Sabbathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812410680077034917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-8195982733151015142021-10-03T04:53:38.616-07:002021-10-03T04:53:38.616-07:00Whos your favorite pro wrestlerWhos your favorite pro wrestlermaxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-83587997431849266042021-10-02T18:11:35.304-07:002021-10-02T18:11:35.304-07:00@odium rayse

We're quibbling at this point b...@Matrox Lusch<br /><br />We're quibbling at this point but I think the "Socratic Method" isn't quite the same thing as a "dialectic", which was a more adversarial debate form developed by Plato. From Wikipedia:<br /><br /><i>The Socratic method (also known as method of Elenchus, elenctic method, or Socratic debate) is a form of cooperative argumentative dialogue between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and underlying presuppositions. [...] But in his later dialogues, such as Theaetetus or Sophist, Plato had a different method to philosophical discussions, namely dialectic.</i><br /><br />and:<br /><br /><i>Dialectic or dialectics (Greek: διαλεκτική, dialektikḗ; related to dialogue; German: Dialektik), also known as the dialectical method, is a discourse between two or more people holding different points of view about a subject but wishing to establish the truth through reasoned argumentation.</i><br /><br />I think the key word in the definition of "Socratic Method" is "cooperative". Lawyers are taught using the Socratic Method (at least in the movies, in practice it's a mixed bag); but lawyers cross-examine witnesses and argue cases against other lawyers using something more like a dialectic.Picadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01244353406711565712noreply@blogger.com
