I'll bet Marv doesn't even see this as a flame.

Pan's point--and he's absolutely right--is that all the right appears to have to defend themselves is the phrase "Oh yeah, well you!" In the words of Michael Palin, that's NOT an argument. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to support a proposition, not the automatic gainsaying of whatever the other person said.

I'd LOVE to see some actual argumentation around here. But as long as certain factions keep themselves safely on the "Oh yeah, well you!" card, there's zero chance of that.

I feel you, pan, I truly do.

("Oh yeah, well Bill Clinton!", "Oh yeah, well Ted Kennedy!", "Oh yeah, well Hillary Clinton!"--all just variations on the same losing argument)
