How to argue your point
Some simple rules
HTML tags
Be clear on what point or points you are addressing. Quote what someone else has said before addressing it so everyone is clear what exactly you are responding to. Using the <blockquote> tag helps (see below).
Don’t just cut and paste someone else’s words to save you from forming the argument or rebuttal for yourself. However, if you do quote someone else, provide a reference to the website, paper or article.
