Janice, looking further in that site with the quiz, I have come to understand now the arguing style of some here who must have taken this course. I marvel now to see that this style has the euphonious name of the "Ransberger Pivot", though it would seem that some remedial study of "gently, not abrasively. Persuasively, not argumentatively" might be in order:

Liberty Communicator Course

With the Liberty Communicator Course, we teach libertarians how to present ideas gently, not abrasively. Persuasively, not argumentatively. Briskly, rather than droning on and on with oral essays. Libertarians also learn the mundane but necessary details such as how to get invited to speak and how to get a warm rather than hostile introduction.

Your self-confidence will zoom after taking this audio tape series. You'll use the 16 audio cassettes and 3 workbooks to help effectively present libertarian ideas, including:

How to give convincing bite-size answers to common questions
How to tame the "hidden killer" that sabotages conversations about liberty
How to put a hostile questioner on your side with a simple verbal move -- the Ransberger Pivot

And much more.

I was wondering when someone was going to make that observation. Maybe the fix was in or maybe it's a revelation.

What's your score? That should tell us if it's the former or the latter.
