When we were kids, my brother and I fought.  Rarely fisticuffs.  It was usually just mouthing off at each other.

I learned, at one point, if I just kept standing there talking and not letting him get a word in edgewise, I could irritate him to the point where he just left in a huff.

To my mind, that was winning.  As I got older, I realized that it was me being a jerk.

These days, it sounds like what passes for ‘news commentary’ on some of the livelier TV shows. And they probably feel that they’re winning.
