As they teach (I’m told) in law school: “When the law is against you, argue facts.  When the facts are against you, argue law.  When both are against you, argue like hell”.

The blogging corollary might be “when the facts make you look like an idiot and your every attempt at a response looks like a more-and-more desperate attempt to change the subject because the entire world is starting to think you’re a giggly self-absorbed little jagoff, you should quit before you get too far behind, if it’s not already too late”.

Which, with Foot on the case, it pretty much already is.

Closed Circuit to Learned Foot:  “Facts” don’t matter to these people.  A year or so ago, Avodart claimed that I support PRT, too – after not bothering to notice the easily-google-able fact that I, in fact, oppose it. 

It seems to be his general-purpose imprecation, not unlike saying his dad can beat your dad.
