>>put forth to instigate a wrathful response<<

Not at all, although it may have that effect. Put forth because it is true (although admittedly hyperbolic) and embellished in insulting language to mirror the attitude of those on the thread whom I address. To hold hold up a mirror to their own ugliness, unseemly behavior, arrogance and condescension.

"The person who can outwrath everyone esle wins the game."

Well, that's what they think. But actually they are the ones who lose the game.

"The greatest intellects in SI come here to battle each other."

Well, the greatest intellects according to their own opinion, anyway. Great intellects would not bother with this crap.

"There have been many battles but no winners. No one has EVER admitted defeat."

Correct. Those who cannot ever admit defeat are the biggest losers of all.
