Do you agree with me that when we hear somebody call for a 'grown-up' or 'adult' debate what they really mean is that I will maintain a mature, logical, common sense based, well thought out argument and you will counter with a childish, nonsensical account of wishful thinking that flies in the face of reason.
The use of the phrase carries with it the insinuation that only my point of view is valid and that all others are irrelevant. In recognising this truism one has to also reflect that the held views are therefore less likely to be other than ideologically nuanced nonsense.
