It's not on the personal level. If someone posts 'program x is better
than program y' based on the result of a few games, I get annoyed
too. I'm just a grumpy person sometimes.

Just because you believe so doesn't mean he has to agree. In fact,
he most likely will not. If discussing something were always as simple
as to give one counterargument, the amount of posts here would be reduced
by at least 50%.

Postings things which boil down to : 'you just can't admit you're
wrong' is bad, don't do it. It brings nothing to the discussion and
it's just annoying.
