      Do you realize that this bickering will continue as long as   
   you take part?   
      
      Lawrence reminds me of a couple of people   
   who used to frequent the photo editing newsgroup. They   
   probably still do. One was a know-it-all who would argue that   
   the sky is not blue. The other was a reasonable person but   
   couldn't stop when the bickering started. They'd sometimes   
   go on over 100 posts, with variations on "Is not!" and "Is so!"   
      
       Know-it-alls are highly skilled at twisting details and context   
   in order to assemble unassailable logic:   
      
   "Water is wet."   
   "Is not. Since when you idiot? Have you ever touched an ice cube with   
   cold hands?"   
   "When it's not frozen, it's wet."   
   "Why would you want to get wet?"   
      
      There's an obsession with winning and a notable lack of   
   interest in facts or relevance; an obscene paucity of curiosity.
