Just yesterday, in an article about Dubai's economy spiraling down, the author and a commenter got into a point-by-point detailed and civilized argument that ended with the author admitting that the points against his piece were so well done and thoroughly thought out that he had to admit most of them were right. It's a pity that this is so rare on the Internet, but it almost certainly wouldn't have happened if the commenter had started with some version of "D00D U SUX!!!!!!!"
