    Yes, I know the game. It's an endless loop and it applies to more than just AMD vs. Intel. It is the typical pattern observed on any message board on any debate topic.

    OP: <Concept 1> or <concept 2> is more <comparison>?
    Person 1: Opinion about a comparison.
    Person 2: Opposite opinion about comparison.
    Person 1: OPINION ABOUT COMPARISON!
    Person 3: On-topic response to OP that nobody will notice.
    Person 2: NO! OPPOSITE OPINION ABOUT COMPARISON!
    Person 1: OPINION ABOUT COMPARISON AND INSULT TO PERSON 2!
    Person 2: YALALALA OPPOSITE OPINION AND BIGGER INSULT TO PERSON 1!
    Person 3: Request for clarification on why Person 1 and Person 2 are fighting. Acknowledgement that both have points. [nobody notices]
    Person 1: OH YEAH WELL SLIGHT TOPIC DEVIATION AND POORLY CONSTRUCTED ANALOGY! CLAIM OF ABSOLUTE CORRECTNESS!
    Person 2: LALALALALALA STATEMENT OF OWN CORRECTNESS AND REFUSAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE PERSON 1 ANYMORE.

    And so on, and so on, and so on, and so on until a discussion about two telephones' signal quality ends up with a discussion about brands of peanut butter and why one makes a person supporter of terrorism if they purchase it.

    In the end, neither person learns anything, they both still absolutely believe their original opinions are correct, and will defend it rigidly until the day they die despite the ever-changing world of technology or whatever topic their discussion was about.
