let me put it this way you db to lower someones health then you kill them that lame/cheap enough for you?
Like I said, evading the punishment menu could be considered "lame", but I was not talking about the punishment menu. By drive-by I mean staying in a vehicle (or on a bike) and blast someone until they're dead. That does not involve getting out/off and finishing them off. By doing it this way there is nothing lame whatsoever because it is part of the game.

@^ no what im saying is its stupid to go in against other groups on your own unless your Zia 
If we use your reasoning here, it's stupid to go in against someone drive-bying. Now it's stupid to suggest that because most of the time you're fighting someone doing a drive-by they go to you, often while you're in the middle of a fight. Now if someone goes to fight you, then more friends jump him, how does that make the victim's actions stupid when they initially challenged you? Or if you're fighting someone and then a group comes from nowhere and jumps you? You can't criticise them for that because they might not have been expecting to see a gang pop up.
Like I said, I don't consider either to be lame, but I'm aware of the problems people have with both and with some of the more reasoned arguments I consider ganging up more "lame" than drive-by (legal drive-by) because it's a much harder tactic for the victim to defend against and they won't always have control over it happening in the first place (although that's the same for drive-by).
