Should I counter attack?

[vdubsta]

So I have an online class and we're using a message board just like this.

We're having an online debate, and he provides an argument and a link to back it up. Link to where? Wikipedia.

I call him out and tell him to find me a reliable source, because Wiki isn't one.

He now posted a new thread, saying how immature I am and that he wants an apology. Should I just ignore it?

Note the teacher will probably seeing this.

Anyone around the world can edit Wikipedia.

 

[soltheman]

Look at the sources of the Wikipedia page.

You don't teach at a university. He does. Apologize before he fails your dumb #++.

[alleniversonfan01]

what was the argument about. Then we'll tell you if you have a reason to fight back or if you would just make yourself look dumb.

 

[scott frost]

Post up what you actually typed. Perhaps you came off wrong and your teacher took offense. You are certainly not in the wrong, so dont apologize for that.

 

[west2east]

He sounds like a super lame. Also no professor would allow a wikipedia link in their papers either so I would say don't apologize. I don't think youdid anything wrong. You sound like you want to apologize though. So do whatever you feel is right. You know your teacher.

who is "he"? your story telling skills get an F-

Its a student asking for an apology, not the teacher.

 

[suckafree85]

ANyways. I would just leave it alone.

 

[illmatickal]

if "he" is a fellow classmate, don't apologize. if "he" is the professor, apologize.

Ha. I tried making it short, so fools wouldn't ask for cliffnotes or make a big deal of some sort.

 

[klipschorn]

Go post up a picture saying, "You Mad?"

 

[diego]

Link him to this thread.

 

[antonlavey]

I think there's more to this story, how did you call him out. Where you disrespectful? Calling someone out for not citing his argument isn't reasonenough to throw a fit.

 

[kevenmayne]

Just go to his thread and start roasting dude

Saw before the edit.

its a peer? post this:

 

[eleet1]

Dont apologize but explain to him why wikipedia is not a reliable source. Dont get heated though. Calm and collected. Then with out a doubt teacher will sidewith you an most likely fell you are a better student due to the fact that you know wikipedia is not a reliable source.

Exactly what I said:
"Tim give me a link besides wikipedia. Everyone knows that wiki is NOT a reliable source. For all we know, you could've written it yourself. Ha. Iwon't believe until you provide a reliable resource."

I think he got offensive because I "accused" him of writing the article. My point was, anyone could've written it.

His Response:
Subject: MATURITY LEVEL
"I am seriously astonished, how ADULTS are behaving here.

I provide an argument, and a link,
and all one can argue is that he doesn't trust the source?

This is a debate, please, I beg of you, debate with me on the topic, if you cannot think of anything to repudiate my argument, then say so, don't just sayyou can't believe me just because the source is wikipedia. For your information, high school teachers, and university professors are starting to allowwikipedia because it has proven to be more reliable in the last 5 years.

Also, ACCUSING me of writing that article... you are literally the most immature person I've met. I honestly would like an apology."

 

[starzinoureyes]

^ he sounds like a sissy, demanding an apology & what not. how absurd. :scoff:

 

[alleniversonfan01]

Not sure why you still have not posted what the argument is about.

But just hit him with this gif. He'll know the deal and fallback.
