# Liberals are almost always more aggressive than conservatives here, as liberals insist on the last word, insist on continuing debate long after it has become tiresome, and repeat complaints after they have been rejected.  That could represent an attempt to waste an opponent's time or a refusal to recognize that there are legitimate reasons to reject liberal viewpoints.  Regardless of the reason, this can be observed on numerous talk pages.

# Liberals refuse to allow even the possibility of certain conservative views, and this reflects a liberal close-mindedness that is not shared by conservatives.  Liberals categorically declare something to be impossible, such as changes in the laws of physics over time or the feasibility of the [[Strategic Defense Initiative]].  Conservatives rarely declare something to be impossible.

# Name-calling, particularly as a [[Parthian shot]], is overused by liberals.  In one recent exchange, a critic finished his remarks with "you've just conceded that you are a deceitful liar.  Thanks, that's all I needed to know."

# Almost no liberal admits he's liberal, or that he holds a liberal belief, or that he is using a liberal argument.  More often a liberal will claim to be a conservative, and try to make a liberal argument sound better with the preface, "Well, I'm a conservative, but I support gun control!"  But why are so many people embarrassed to admit they are liberal???

# A surprising absence of reliance on logic.  Quite the contrary, logical arguments are often met with ridicule or disdain by liberals today, or a demand to see if any authority can be found who made the same logical argument, in the hope of discrediting that authority.  In school 30 years ago it seemed that liberals would be the first to appeal to logic, but apparently not today.
