Arguer

Tom is a recreational arguer.

The arguer should put himself in the position of the persons to be persuaded, and ask himself the question, “What evidence would most strongly appeal to me and induce me to believe and act in the manner desired if I were the person to be persuaded?”

Basically, it is a personal attack on an arguer that brings the individuals's personal circumstances, trustworthiness, or character into question.

Such changes would seem basic in other broadcast organizations, but they have landed Ms. Scott in a hornet's nest of attacks and recriminations from some of the most ardent arguers in the medium.
