How can they "prevail" if they a reasoned argument was never possible in the first place? Telling the difference between someone who can debate you without pettiness and someone who cannot is key. I have disagreed and debated with almost every, if not every, person who I consider a friend or at least a friendly acquaintance here. It never ends poorly. I have also disagreed with people who think debating means shaming everyone into taking their stance or using strawmen to discredit their opponents. A reasoned argument was never an option with these people.
Anyway, you just said it was inferior and childish. You have clearly put your method above that of others. Sorry.
