There should be an encyclopedia of internet arguments and how they usually play out. Rather than waste time fighting with each other, people could just refer to the encyclopedia entry and save themselves the trouble.

I hate to break it to you but idiots existed loooong before the internet. There used to be crappy arguments galore but they were verbal or printed. Verbally you could destroy your opponent but via print you had to publish to contradict. Now everyone is a publisher.

Nonetheless the problem has been dealt with. I give you the encyclopedia you seek:
