Differences of opinion should be debated. I believe that that is the fundamental reason for the very existence of this site. Cross thread disputes should, and as far as I can see, are discouraged by mods. I myself have had more than one run in with mods and members, and I have only been here as a member for a year. However, I do believe that there are some members who seem to "enjoy" the continuance of disagreement on a "personal" level. This of course promotes an atmosphere of "kill the messenger, ignore the message". And that, my friends, is a sad thing.

I'm seeing a correlation between the descending darkness
and the abscence of light. What trick of the darkness could
preoccupy the light? Maybe the children of light are predisposed?
Mezmerized by an image, a hypnotic computer diversion? The
darkness advances as the light sits. Because the Devil dreams
on an idle horse.
Just kick'n stuff around.

I wasn't really commenting on the attitude towards a post/topic/comment, but rather the fact, as I think the OP mentioned, that some of these debates lead to "personal" opinions which in turn discourage any future debate, on any topic. That was what I meant to express at least.
