So your saying ORS has been acting as a Marine so he could use it against people in arguments about Papelbon. Of what i know of him, which is extremely little i'll admit, he doesnt seem like the kind of man to say "hey look at me, I'm a Marine, wooooo". He seems a modest smart ass who loves baseball, and knows his s***.
He used what he knew, which was a result of being a Marine, to help in his argument against you. And the general idea of debating concludes that when you result to personal attacks, you've lost.
So again, You lose.
