citing personal experience in a debate, Good or bad?
Debate Information
Good if all you want to do is tell someone why you believe something, although they have no reason to believe, this is a tricky one where both people are being rational and not reaching a conclusion (unless of course you're lying).
Personal experience is good to use in conversation about personal experience or to establish a premise for the existence of something that can be verified by a first-hand account. Systemic data is required for anything beyond that.
It can be effective as an emotional appeal, but you should not base your entire argument off it. You will need hard evidence as well as logical arguments: an emotional appeal alone can easily be taken down as purely anecdotal evidence.
