Just to be very clear, the tone of this post is neutral, and I mean everything in it literally:
Is this a behavior pattern that exists? I honestly don't see how that would get someone the last word - it seems to, as far as I can tell, boil down to taking the argument into private messages, which isn't actually a kill-tactic as far as I know.
Note that I'm aware this is moot, as I wasn't doing it - I'm just wondering if people do this, and why?
Re: I wish this was true, because it's very well stated.
