Debating methods

So what's your style of debating?

Mine varies, honestly. If I'm debating in person, I will usually be extremely in the defensive unless I'm sure of the topic. online, I tend to allow opponents to bring up arguments, and then parry them and often strike back with my own. I also have a tenancy to think of a debate as a duel; your position is your 'fighter', and your arguments are your sword and shield.

I think similarly to your method online, though I tend to be extremely vehement about my opinions and the like.

I rarely debate in real life, but when I do (I drink Dos Equis) I tend to take over the conversation and end up forcing my opinion into the head of whoever I was debating with. Now I have yet to get into any real debate, but my siblings will have to do for now.
