September 30, 2008Poison Phrase ~ If you believe that, you’ll believe anything
It was a political conversation, but this kind of attack happens everywhere. When Julie disagreed with Lorrie’s opinion about a national policy, instead of addressing the issue directly, Julie said,
- If you believe that, you’ll believe anything.
It’s called attacking the messenger, and it’s a bully tool to end reasonable dialogue. Respond by saying,
- I offered a sincere opinion and you replied by painting me as gullible. Please point out the flaws in the argument, not my own gullibility.
