Ironblade Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 To be fair, I think we see a lot more CLAIMS of 'white knighting' than the actual thing. When some people are having difficulty defending their position in an argument, they often resort to attacking the other person and calling them a white knight is one type of attack. 2 1 6 Originally on Infinity.

kito Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Why would you want to police it? If there coming in to "save" someone who just can't articulate there point and just manage to properly give you the information is there a problem there? White knighting is when an individual joins an argument with the thinly veiled intention of making themselves look good or in hopes of courting favor. Also must be nice to know why outher people join arguments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
