This kind of crap drives me nuts.
There are completely legitimate reasons to be opposed to the concept of the iPad, or to suggest that people should not buy one. When you construct an argument with stretched truths and hyperbole, you just weaken the entire position and make people who agree with you look like fanatics.
In other words, if you have such a good argument, why are you employing Rovian tactics?
- stanleydrew 17y agoI think I agree with you, but as frustrating as they are, weren't Rovian tactics shown to work pretty well?
- tvon 17y agoI'm not saying it doesn't work, I'm saying it's dishonest.
- jsz0 17y agoThey work great in the short term. Over the long term though you create fear fatigue in people and undermine credibility. It also tends to alienate people who are undecided or sympathetic to your argument but informed enough to see the tactics.
