| There is no debate of ROW over that call, so that would be an irrellevant example. Please try again.

| Disagreement=debate. Do I really have to hold your hand through this, or can you stand up and walk like a big boy?

No, it's just why the smart people pretty much stay out of this thread... Because when you're constantly going for oneupmanship, it's going to get nasty at time.

After all the best way to make sure "nobody will hit them" if to get far away from their opponents and stay there. Oh, and bounce around, that makes people think something is happening when it really isnt.
