So statements of opinions can't start arguments? What can?

It may be derogatory, but it isnt necessarily an attack meant to start an argument

You're being patently ludicrous. If somebody makes a derogatory remark about me and I respond, I'm the one starting the argument? And yet if somebody punches me then he started the fight? How do you explain this distinction?

Ah, giving a "No, you started it" to spice up your arguments?

Um. Ostensibly this is a 'joke'? If so, why are you hiding behind it? I made a point: You started the discussion of language when you challenged my use of it.

I said that was one possible solution. It wasnt a direct attack, while punching someone is

Define "direct attack", and then show that it makes a difference.

I dont see how what you did was any better. There's a pretty clear line between clarification and declaring you're right. You were on the latter side, the second time around

Completely untrue. My first post summarised what you did and then claimed that it constituted putting words in my mouth. My second defined exactly what the phrase means. I didn't even declare that either of us was right or wrong - I just said my piece and left it at that.

You, on the other hand, started with the declaration that I was wrong and then repeated your definition of the phrase. You apparently think that the winner is whoever can continue to say "I'M RIGHT NANANA" for the longest before he gets bored.

"it was just a flippant comment."

No, it was a direct accusation meant to undermine what I had posted. You can abandon it now and pretend you were only kidding, but it won't do much for your credibility.

They aren't relevant to the overall argument

Nor were they meant to be (and, by your own logic, nor was your claim that you're not always wrong). I don't reject statements just because they're irrelevant. But if my opponent is using them in attempts to support his cause then yeah, I'll take issue with them.
