Well, if you call making the whole debate look ridiculous and made at least this member look in despair at the same old, same old debate playing itself again and again and again at nauseam with the same ridiculous, overblown arguments, yes it has worked. I would personally have preferred statements that encourage intelligent debate that has some vague hope of moving forward, but to each their own.
