You can apply this "whenever someone smacks me down it's in a form I've heard before" argument to any IRL conversation too. It's stupid and lazier than coming up with an actual response, which may also be ironic since you are accusing someone else of being lazy.

Add that one to your "classic ineffective response" list. We'll just keep building it for you.

RP may be off base with regard to whether the "self-deprecating" angle is ineffective or not. I mean, shit, it may be a cop-out but at least there's some reasoning to it: Why'd you say this? I was being self-deprecating. Oh.

But, if the "classic smackdowns" are such lame-ass comebacks like:

You are responding to me, you must be obsessed with me
You don't know me so don't comment on what I write
Who are you
When you've been posting as long as I have...

then I'm not really sure they qualify as "smackdowns". They're just bullshit.
