Attributed variously, including to George Carlin. May have been mentioned before on this thread, possibly even by me. Applicability to some of the discussions on this forum is a matter for debate.

Two similar quotes:
Never argue with a fool...
...Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.
...He may be doing the same thing.

Everyone's ghast should get a good flabbering now and then.
