R: A chance for BV to redeem himself Post #779650 • Liberal Forum

Why is this PG? Be cause @Blackvegetable incessantly uses PG, so **** him right back.

I am giving BV a chance to redeem himself. As you know, Veghead loves to shift the burden of proof. I don't think he understands what that means...come to think of it, he doesn't understand anything. However, if you know the answer, then feel free to give Veghead some hints. Because apparently, in some advanced schools of internet debate, the person who makes the claim does not carry the burden of proof. Instead, his sacred duty is to drop an OP like a flaming bag on the porch, run away from every request for clarification, and then appoint himself Grand Inquisitor of everyone else’s answers.

Multiple Choice Question: Burden of Proof

Which of the following is the best example of someone trying to shift the burden of proof?

A. A person makes a claim, gives reasons for it, answers objections, and accepts that the person making the claim has the responsibility to defend it.

B. A person says, “I don’t know enough about this topic to make a strong claim,” and therefore refrains from starting a debate thread.

C. Blackvegetable starts a thread with a bold claim, refuses to defend his own OP, appears to have no developed thoughts about the very claim he introduced,
dodges every direct question for months, and then demands that everyone else answer his questions as though they are now responsible for proving or disproving the thing he asserted.

D. A person asks clarifying questions after first explaining his own position.
