Whether or not there is a defined game, I think the idea of "winning" is pretty clear. Winning is about converts vs. dissent. Posts, posters, and threads that operate from a winning standpoint don't allow for any alternate views, they don't consider any alternate views, and their raison d'etre is to eliminate dissent while creating converts. Views that don't fall into that paradigm are marginalized.
It's not a black and white thing -- and I'm not arguing for the relativist position that all opinions are equal. However, this sort of thing is really off-putting if you come here to learn and discuss.
