Nah, post history is a great way to adapt to someone’s style and beat them…
Obviously the direct “well hurrdurr your post history has this and that, argument invalid” approach is idiotic, but you can use the post history to point out fallacies (say, if someone is more lenient about an issue just because the politics of the person/people involved), but also to prepare what kind of counter-argument they might bring so you can slap back immediately.
See, most debates that are good, are good because of the right comebacks, counter-arguments, and the wit being used. But a good majority of those aren’t thought up on the spot! No, debates are 95% about prep, and one of the most important factors is who you’re debating. Their personality can be an incredibly useful tool against them, because with the right words/phrases you can manipulate their reactions - while essentially saying the same thing. You prepare to a debate by guessing how your opponent will react, and the more you know about their personality (post history), the better you can prepare.
So yeah, post history can be super useful if you know how to use it. And it’s most useful when the others - the person in question included - don’t realise that you’re using the post history.

Wow this comment is very Ben Shapiro debate bro coded.
You sound kind of evil dawg. The internet is for fun.
The “win” here likely refers to that of a moral or ethical one. Thanks for helping prove the point.
