Domain Query: Rhetorical Kill Shots

I am finally back with another episode in the Domain Query series. This one addresses an interesting question from LRFotS Randale6, who asks: Could you do a podcast (or perhaps two, one for each form) on verbal and written rhetoric. While there are many books (often freely available as PDFs) I got the sneaky suspicion that it will take more then reading them to turn theory into (effective) practice. I'm happy to oblige with any insights that I can provide. In this podcast, I illustrate five (more or less) principles of highly effective rhetoric, that apply in both verbal and written form: The most effective rhetoric is always couched in truth. Brevity is the heart of good rhetoric. Highly effective rhetoric always attacks what a person does not want to be identified with, OR paints him as something that he is not to begin with. Good rhetoric must always respect and be tailored toward the hierarchy in which someone operates. Always respond to rhetoric with rhetoric. That should keep our friend busy for a while.
