It really shows!
"You're wrong," is a statement. But it's not really a refutation of my position. You need to say more than that for it to be an argument.

I've put forth, at least a few times, that globull warmering is a huge hoax. It is at the least academic fraud. A part of the hoax/fraud is the media buying the argument as THE TRUTH®™ and both attacking people who disagree with THE TRUTH®™ and ignoring any science that refutes the THE TRUTH®™.
Burying me in quotes from that very same media does not refute my claim they are either lying to their own ends or simply misguided.
I know many gun owners have had a reverse Murry Gell-Mann moment with the press.

Most of the people who do this don't really have a position of their own, they just like to win arguments. They don't care what your position is beyond showing you're wrong and will use anything at hand to "refute" you.
When you walk away and never talk to them again, they think they won.
