You? Rule 16'd? NEVER! Honestly, I've never looked at the rules... Let me see... Oh, yeah, I guess that kinda-sorta checks out.

What you encountered there is the /b/ mantra of "I'll argue with anyone about anything!"

A lot of "handshake" accounts, too, so I think it was a raid of some sort, gone out of control because "I'll argue with anyone about anything" went awry? I certainly contributed, because I type really fast and I enjoy dumpster fires, and thought some of the people advocating for authoritarianism and militarized police states were concerning when they weren't handshake accounts. Spend no more than 6 minutes on a post, that is, 500 words. And the replies I get for pointing out their slippery slope and defense of thoughtcrime prosecution? "Figures a Canadian Frenchman would say that".

Not proper logical debate being applied at all, no discourse, no Socratic dialogue! They weren't even fun trolls you can verbally fence with for a while.

So someone, pick a topic, I'll advocate for the opposite and defend it vociferously no matter what it is, let's see if we can recreate the shitstorm and do it properly!

EDIT: Actually, it's an overt concern. Seems the sub gets the most activity around six hours prior to this timestamp? I'll make a new topic of a Debate Practice Club, unless a mod whacks me down for it, because some people weren't Handshake accounts, but were debating horribly.
