EdDuke:

'''Last wordism''' is the belief, common among [[user:Aschlafly]], that victory can be obtained in a [[debate]]/discussion by blocking users.

Last wordism is a characteristic of "less intellectually robust presentations".<ref>http://www.cslewisinstitute.org/pages/resources/books/reviews/CaseforChrist.pdf</ref>

Deliberate ignorance

EdDuke:

'''Deliberate ignorance''' is the practice of refusing to consider or discuss logic or evidence disproving ideologically motivated positions. Examples include:

* [[Democrats]] refusing to acknowledge [[Barack Obama]]'s appeal to unpatriotic donors and supporters
* [[materialists]] refuse to address the impossibility of material explanation for [[migration]] and [[homing]]
* [[evolutionists]] refuse to address the lack of a plausible evolutionary path for the [[whale]]<ref>This is disputed by evolutionists at a blog worth reviewing further for plausibility at [http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/02/two_tales_of_whale_evolution.php].</ref>
* [[liberals]] refuse to address how [[socialism]] destroys productivity
* [[abortionists]] refuse to address the undisclosed harm to the mothers who have [[abortions]]
* Advocates of the [[global warming theory]] refuse to consider any scientific evidence which shows that natural causes have always had a greater effect on terrestrial air temperature than human activity.
(add more)

Common expressions of [[deliberate ignorance]] include:

* I'm not aware of that! (without admitting a failure to look)
* I've never seen that in the [[Bible]]!
* I've never heard my <s>[[homeschool]] teacher</s> daddy say that!
* If you believe that, I bet you oppose school prayer! 95% chance!
* Let's talk about something else, because I'm losing this argument! <ref>Aschlafly</ref>
* I'm not interested in that, because it might go against my preconceived notions, and I don't like going outside my comfort zone!
* You're violating the 90/10 rule! Go leave before it's too obvious that I lost the argument!
