Oh look, Mr. Snarky Comments made a snarky comment.
You're the shining figurehead of the CC, Mr. Chairman!

I suppose I can see why you would think my comment "cutting", in so far as it cut straight to the point. But I definitely don't think it qualifies as "snark" simply for that. When debating a point, a goal is to show, among other things, that the other party's statements are illogical. You weren't personally attacked in my rebuttal, though that does seem to be the course you're choosing to take.

I do need to point out as a professor of argumentation that arguments are by definition outside the bounds of formal logic. Logic only works in worlds of absolute truths, argument is where we debate what might be and what is likely to be...

If something were logical, it would be beyond argument.

A good leader could've tried to de-escalate the situation.
But that's not you Brian, is it?
You'd rather light the fuse on every bomb you can possibly find.

If logic be damned, then all shall be argued.
The argument is measured by the audience. In the world where things cannot be said to be certain, all manner of things may be deemed logical or illogical.

And yes, all shall be argued.
