the ping pong writing method, in which the first paragraph establishes a premise, the second disagrees, the third reconsiders the premise, and so forth, is a bad habit of mine
or is it? it shows a willingness to consider both sides of an argument
but an inability to commit to a position
on the other hand, presenting both pros and cons doesn't have to imply they're equal in magnitude, sometimes you talk through both sides in order to make the case for one
although if the entire essay/article/post/whatever continues in this fashion you probably aren't really doing that
then again, when I'm writing very informally like this I shouldn't hold myself to any sort of strict quality standards, it's okay to just think aloud
however anything written for another person to read shouldn't be a complete waste of their time
nonetheless, conversely, anyway, despite that, regardless, here we are
