@MerriamWebster As a professor of phonetics: p, b & m are known as bilabial sounds ( both the lips come in close contact), and w unfortunately is not a bilabial (because both the lips are not involved in the production of this sound). w is known as a semi-vowel or an approximant.

@kazhugan It's high time we stopped using the term "debate." In a debate you must project your voice so that you can be heard but definitely NOT shout. "Shouting contest/match" or the "yelling competition" would be much more appropriate and then we'd have no reason to complain.
