Argumentum Ad Awesome

Hopefully this will be the beginning of a new periodic, blog post series (joining the ranks of Douche-bag of the week, word of the day and Ask a Spy on the list of items I update for a few weeks then forget about!).

It is sad, that I find this sort of thing refreshing. It would be nice if a well reasoned argument actually swayed people, but at the very least I appreciate when people still try to convince others through a cogent and reasoned discourse.
