Example: evasive counter-questions instead of answers. These are not quite the same as posing questions that both imply quite clearly what the answer to the question is AND move the conversation forward at the same time.
Expecting other posters to answer endless streams of questions while refusing to answer a single question in return.
Asking the same question 20 different ways in an attempt to get a different answer.
Getting nervous, angry or scared and poisoning a substantive conversation with pool whizzing.

-Removed-Abusing personal and factual information shared by another poster is a very lazy and cowardly forum tactic IMO, where such information is used as childish ammunition rather than an opportunity for grown-up dialogue.
"Hi, my name's Steve and I'm a doctor."
"You're lying. You post here too often to be a doctor. Instead of showing any interest in your profession I'm going to call you a liar on a daily basis and make crass comments about your imaginary patients."
Sad.

Nothing shuts a thread down faster than me posting about tiger.
So hilarious. It’s the equivalent of putting a padlock on a thread and tossing the key down a storm drain.

Hi Bob!
Did you all hear about the “talking snake” in Genesis and how books in the Bible were written “decades apart?”
Did you know that God is an “outside agent” in a Christian’s life? Did you all know that Christians and Muslims worship the same God but just call Him different names?
Ahhhh, feel free to have a seat, Bob.
