The Rapaport Rules of Argumentation

Rules of argument come from anatole rapport, the mathematician and social scientist. They are an attempt to re express your targets position so clearly that they say thanks. If you have decided, according to the rule, to first mention something positive about the target of your criticism, it will not do to say that you admire him for the enormity of his errors or recklessness with which he clings to them. So back to my text. I hope you will recognize that your beloved rap s rules have failed you here.
