There are exceptions: grown men who know how to speak only in ad hominem and memes. Raised during the era of the internet and fed a steady diet of television and 4chan, they can have an entire argument using only pictures they found browsing the web. Very rarely will one of these try to pull the "mature dude" card but it does happen. Brandon, I admire your guts if not your rhetorical and dialectical skill. You have the audacity to argue like a child and simultaneously try to back others down by acting like they are childish for daring to oppose you.
Behind all those angry words lurks a man who is hurt. Maybe you two should spend some time talking about your feelings. Just open up, shed some tears, tell each other how you really feel, and try to avoid words like "idiot." Hug it out.
Maybe you could do it in private like men.
No? Ok, I gave it a shot. What else is on?
