Avram, I'll do the moderating here, please.

I'm not quite sure how my reply counts as moderation, but I'll back off till I've figured it out.
This makes VB go "you didn't address any points..."
Only Meg's construction of her points. Criticism of construction without addressing substance = moderation.

Y'know, I think you may be right. It seemed to me at the time that I was addressing a peripheral point, but yeah, you've actually clarified something for me that's been bothering me for a bit in another context, a conversational pattern that was common in an online forum a spent a lot of time in up until a few years ago, and which I've later realized was dysfunctional.
This makes VB go "cool."
I'm actually seeing quite a bit of it around here. Sorry you were the one under the gavel when it came down.
This makes AG go "No prob."
