Reply #138: The mechanics of character assassination

[Kelvin Mace]

Just thought I would put out this little guide on how it's done.

Bev uses a shotgun approach. She makes LOTS of allegations, then when you calmly debunk one or more, she ignores being proven wrong on those issues and hammers on one's you haven't responded to or raises new ones.

Bev: Allegations a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i j, k, and l.

Opponent: Rebuts a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, pauses for comment from Bev.

Bev: Ignores rebuttals. Allegations i, j, k, and l!!! Why do you refuse to address allegations i, j, k, and l?? What are you hiding? How come you never will answer allegations i, j, k, and l?

Opponent: Rebuts allegations i, j, k, and l.

Bev: Never addresses any rebuttals, issues allegations m, n, o , p and q.

Bev then stops answering entirely. At some future date the whole process repeats as if Bev's allegations were never addressed.
