7.6 Trespasser Disinformation Tactics
26. Attack typos and ignore the content of the message. Point out
your opponent's grammatical flaws and spelling errors. By doing this you
can concentrate on form while ignoring substance. This is a very handy
method to discredit your opponent and by extension his position, without
once again exposing your ignorance of the issues begin discussed in the
thread.
