âThatâs it, Iâm done arguing with you people because you obviously arenât listening to meâ
âWait, you said WHAT? Well, I have to respond to thatâ

Iâve been reading the entire page and everyoneâs comments on this topic and itâs interesting to read everyoneâs point of view on this topic.
One thing that Iâve seen that bugs me is when people have convinced themselves that a person is derailing a conversation and telling them to âgoogle itâ isnât from someone who comes into the conversation blind or even at the start of an online thread, but instead itâs when someone is challenging the discussion or providing another point that no one else likes or agrees with.
So when someone comes in with a counterpoint, someone or a group in the conversation will say âYouâre wrongâ. The person who provided the counterpoint will ask âOk, why am I wrong?â in order to find out what is going on in the personâs head. However, their response of âgo google itâ and not actually backing up their original âYouâre wrongâ statement seems to be something that is accepted as appropriate dialogue. Iâve seen more people get shut down in a conversation for providing an opposing view or counterpoint to the discussion and being told to âgoogle itâ than to actually engage in conversation to back up what they believe is the facts.

Oh come on. If youâre going to use Janeane Garofalo, at least use this one.
