Yep, I didn't have the appeal brief either. Told you guys I was moonlighting as a legal aid for DJ for a year explaining my absence at the beginning of my contributions to this thread (not Buzz, :lolabove

. Should have believed me.
A Chewbacca Defense is a way of "winning" a debate through methods other than logic and reasoned argument, up to and including the deliberate use of Insane Troll Logic to confuse people.
Key signs of a Chewbacca Defense include:
Being accused of loving or hating X, where X is a subject unrelated to the debate.
Having a point repeated over and over again.
Shouting because if your voice is louder, you seem more powerful, and powerful people always win, so you must be the winner.
Interrupting your opponent and/or talking about nonsense purely to delay and lengthen the debate (a.k.a. "filibustering"). Common in democratic debate, but dictatorships only bother when they're too weak to silence their opposition outright.
Having semantics or nitpicks about the argument come up repeatedly, either to tire out or distract the opponent, or to waste time.
Being hit rapid-fire with so many bogus arguments that you can't keep up unless you write them all down and painstakingly address them one at a time. This lets the other debater claim your failure to answer a few points as proof that you couldn't answer. Also known as a "Gish Gallop". It is named after Duane Gish, a debater who was known for using this tactic.
The common Chewbacca Defense is based on some combination of the following misconceptions and/or fallacies:
If you can prove the other side wrong about something, no matter how irrelevant, it makes them totally wrong and you absolutely right.
If you can word your statements and arguments in a way that is too confusing or nonsensical for the opponent to understand or respond to, it makes them wrong and you right.
If you can make your opponent give up on arguing with you, because you appear too crazy to understand them and/or don't seem to be listening, then they must be wrong and you must be right.
If you can make your opponent look bad, then their argument must be equally bad and therefore they must be wrong and you have to be right.
Am I right?
