Quite often, in a talk page dispute, it will come down to one person thinking that if thethey repeat their argument enough, they'll win. If that doesn't work, they'll invariably whip out the ole' [[WP:IDHT]] link, thinking that citing a wiki-policy will suddenly give them that decisive advantage. The best way to respond to that is to politely say; "''I did hear, [[WP:IDAWT|I just don't agree with that]].''"

Line 23:

*Ernesto: "''No, I heard you, [[WP:IDAWT|I just don't agree with that]].''"
