Could answer this on DDO, but I figure I'll just answer it here. The answer آپ got from bluesteel was pretty good, and I agree with what he had to say, so I'm just going to add here.

Gish gallop makes arguments very sloppy. Usually, it just involves putting out an argument so rapidly that آپ leave the other side's head ringing. آپ can't let that happen. Pay attention to the arguments, and look for obvious holes. A lack of a link structure is usually the most common - people tend to focus on impact so much that they miss it, and then when آپ drop it, they claim it's the most important thing in the round because آپ missed it. Don't let that happen.

Now, آپ might be saying that it seems like an impossible task to respond to so many arguments when someone's putting them out. Again, I agree with bluesteel about weight - make it clear to the judges that arguments with full structure and explanation are the ones that should be preferred. On to سب, سب سے اوپر of that, don't give individual responses. Group them. If your opponent presents 7 disadvantages, all with extremely limited structure and اگلے to no link story, tell the judge to put a no link on all of them. Explain a little what's missing, though آپ don't have to do that for all of them, and why it's important. آپ don't have to take much time doing this - a 20-30 سیکنڈ explanation could easily be enough - but آپ should put something down. Force your opponent to flesh them out. If they fail to do so and just say "well, that's not a response," the judge will usually get it and roll with it. If not, well, then there's not much آپ can do to convince that judge.

Some people actually take it a step further, running a kritik on rapidly presented arguments (talking fast) یا threadbare cases, and that works as well, but it takes a good deal of time to put out, and usually isn't that well phrased. I'd say if آپ do as bluesteel and I suggest, you're in good shape.

Thanks, Marc. It was really really helpful ^.^ (y) Gish gallop is really a hard technique to counter because I have to give a lot of time to analyze all of them and respond. Grouping is a good idea. I guess using your and bluesteel's method together will be enough to win against gish gallop.
