16. How does one debate a serial liar?

TSF is like the drunk at the local bar, none of us wanted to sit beside him or even talk to him because he always caught the biggest fish, shot the biggest buck, had the coldest temperature at his house. We knew better than to waste our time debating with a serial liar.

How is it a winning strategy to let TSF spew lies, uninterrupted and then have Joe spend his time refuting those lies? Joe is always on the defensive.

That drunk at the bar wanted attention, wanted someone to debate with him, he wanted someone to call him a fucking liar to get attention.

Debating TSF under that format was a hug mistake that is on Fulks.
