Thanks for asking - I have been trying to find out if there is an official name for this debating strategy - where one pretends to not understand an opponent - since it is insanely popular amongst muslims.
So what is it called ? And do you grin malevolently like a grand vizier whenever you use it ?
Although, I may not agree completely with kubumba's way of arguing (and I have pointed it out to him a few times via TG), can we please focus on the arguments and not who the opponent is or what he does?
Appeal to motive is not a very good way to discredit an opponent. If they are acting dishonest or if you can't agree with them, then don't debate them.
Can NSG please remind itself that we are to attack the argument and not a user? That's even in accordance with the rules of rational argumentation and for us Muslims, the Quran and hadith (no name calling). Hence, why when I act up (like I did last week), I take breaks and contemplate.
