Well, when you do it obnoxiously it's not a discussion. And when you do it through "Must win at all costs" debate techniques no one gets anything out of it except growing distaste.
How am I being obnoxious? And I do not care one whit about "winning." All I care about is a thorough discussion of all the issues.

For example, Jim smacked you down when you tried it earlier today.
"Smacked me down"? You mean, where he completely missed the point and posted an irrelevant comment, and accused me of something I have not done?
I guess that's a "smack down" if all you care about is a person's status, in which case, I guess Jim "wins" for being an employee and paid contributor to the site. But not from a rhetorical or factual perspective.

There is little intellectual about these posts.
Then it should be easy to define what a "PC" is, absolutely and clearly, right?

Also, resurrecting this thread to quote warrior me is again not getting anyone anything, so I'm just going to stop here.
"Quote warrior"? What the hell?
If you're actually about discussion, rather than about "winning" - then taking the classic "winning" move of "I'm having the last word, I'm out of here" is not a very good way to go about that.
