I just dont get why people get offended, really! I have had heated debates with pretty much everyone on the internet! Never once has anything they said offended me. Its the fucking internet.
If I couldnt argue with people on forums, I wouldnt come to them anymore. Sometimes i'll take a completely opposite stance to what I believe, just to argue with the majority here, while joking about it in pm's with people who know me better. ![]()

Like shmike said, when something is closer to the heart the debate always gets heated. For example, my thing is the War on Drugs, it makes me want to go on a jello fueled rampage through the streets of D.C. wearing a codpiece. For over 10 years it has blown my mind that people are still pro-prohibition. I just can't wrap my head around it, and eventually I want to slap them with my sac. Instead, I just beat them down with unwavering argument. I think most people's hot topic is religion though. For us non-religious folks, we feel so beat down by years and years of people trying to help us find Jesus, forced to abide by Christian-based laws, fed up with censorship in our media, lack of scientific advancement and so forth, that we lash out. Those that are religious are tired of hearing us denounce the belief system that guides their life and they certainly don't like being made out to be idiots, which is what we usually directly or indirectly imply. Just as their belief directly or indirectly implies that we are such horrible people we have to spend our eternity in hell. So the beliefs themselves are so counter and the punishments so severe that there is a lot anger and such that comes from these debates. However, they can be fun, informative and really allows you to see another side's point of view. Even Tigger is capable of good, non-flaming debate, I've witnessed it first hand. If Tigger can do it, shouldn't the rest of us be given the chance? ![]()

See you can't even talk about it without flaming. Basically you are making your own bed for me to ban the subject.

Theres a debate for you. Giving people infractions and banning is alot of moderating, calling for us to pay that kind of attention and do that kinda work calls for significantly more moderating. We average about -3 infractions per month, and I dont recall a single actual ban. If thats not relaxed I cant think what is. |
