I haven't seen that. Regardless, I don't see how that means everyone has to be a dick when a request comes up.
It's true there is nothing wrong with poking holes in people's reasoning, provided your intent isn't to belittle everyone in the process for a thrill. A person can behave like such a dick to the level that any (faux) attempt at reasonable discussion deserves to be ridiculed and insulted. Such is the case with Vinny.
