I agree. At least no one who has been a participant in this forum for
any length of time. Still, accusations of such are a common tactic used
by a certain contingent to express their emotional frustration and/or
perhaps to provoke an emotional response when their initial, more scholarly
attempts at winning an argument fail. 
 
Let's face it- some people have an inherent philosophy to their social 
interactions in which "Losing Is Not An Option". You don't have to be a
professional wrestler to partake in that view of life.
