Neither one of you has responded to the point. If Hitler was shy, he also had some natural talent. Don't be fooled by the stories of his practicing in front of a mirror. He understood his audience, and for all his shyness he understood people. As for TaylorSmythe, I can't speak for you, but I can speak for my fellow debaters. I've been a national circuit debater for over a decade, and I can't tell you how many complete morons have never done s**t despite their training. Point is, you can teach people all the Greek oratorical methods you want, you can give them a tract on Roman rhetoric, you can explain the idea of repetition, redundancy, suspense, etc. None of this will mean anything unless the person has that spark in the first place. Just like you don't teach someone to become a poet by explaining tone, enjambment, or any of that nonsense. Whatever you say, it's in the heart, and I'm ashamed (but not necessarily surprised) that so far six Diggers have been so naive as to reject this outright.
