Or perhaps your debating style.

Mine is part sugar, part pepper, and a speck of fiber on the odd occasion.

In other words sometimes sarcasm then cajoling, maybe a challenge then a pontification or brag and then a sooth and hopefully sometimes even something of some trivial value.

I sometimes relate more personal thoughts than probably I should though and as well I sometimes allow my emotions to get control of the the Submit button.

I probably use too many archaic terms, words phrases and constructions and make up too many anachronistic situations - I guess I read too many old books.

But I do find my voice sounds better to me after however many posts.

[Jotapay]

Dry and analytical with blunt characterizations.

[Olaf]

laconic.

[skeptik]

Lazy

[CarlosFerreira]

Mostly interrogative, except when I get to my field of work, where I turn all afirmative and (too) full of certainties. Will sometimes defuse trolls, others just ignore them. After realising the problems associated with posting while tired or sleepy, I stopped doing it, therefore I post less, but with more substance.

[ReverseEngineer]

Confrontational and analytic, suffused with metaphor and a healthy dose of sarcasm. Call it Hunter Thompson and Thomas Pynchon on steroids

I see, I feel, I think, I write.

Sometimes in that order.

I strive for efficiency and pragmatic-ism; by that I mean that I am not interested in dogmatics or defending nor attacking any predetermined fixed position.
... in debates I attempt to roll with the flow and incorporating what I learn into my position.

But sometimes I leave with a new position.

Debating and writing are, for me, not about winning or loosing but about learning the lay of the land. There are issues that I know that I have studied more than others and will attempt to promote my perception of that land. Some times I am totally ignorant and lurk that I may learn. Most of the time is spent in-between these two extremes.

The key to my thought is, I suppose, the pragmatic aspect. I care not for dogma but for news that I can use and in writing to be useful in the movement to clarity rather than being dogmatic.

I use every literary tool at my disposal to that end.

Sometimes I fall short in that goal... and I am ok with that as well.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('ReverseEngineer', 'I')'m recording the COC on disk, to replay while I sleep so it is subliminally connected in my mind.

[Waterthrush]

A true Libra style - it's usually pretty easy for me to understand the other person's point of view. I try to imagine the multiple responses the other person might have to what I write. Then I respond to them. Usually doesn't work more than any other method!

Confrontation NEVER works though.

[PenultimateManStanding]

My style is generally sweetness and light, conflict resolution & Mr. Nice Guy. Sometimes not, but usually. I like irony, but not sarcasm. I had a very different approach a few years ago when I was new here. Back then I was much more likely to get into flame wars. Now I just let it ride and stay cool; unless it's jaysonraymondson. . .
