You are assuming that the flamed party goes away from the process adopting the views of the prevailing party. I fail to see that this is the case. When I have been flamed, I don't walk away agreeing with the battle-tested approach. That's because I don't walk in lock-step with the parties that flame me. You are reaching dirtboy!

Sorry, but I have learned quite a bit in the flame wars I have been engaged in, as well as the more calm debates. Anyone who is unwilling to defend their opinion against the opposition here will be unable to properly defend their opinion out in the real world, where libs are even more adept at the sucker punch and the time-honored propaganda techniques.
