I don't know....a few times over the 19 or so years its been around, I've been dragged into some hot debates and only very rarely has it devolved into a pissing match, but there is that element.  It's been discussed for years.  A lot of it is anonymity blended with the current state of zero sum outcomes.  Some place a high value on winning the argument, not fully understanding opinions vary.  

You know what they say about arguing on the internet - even if you win, you're still a *****...

For the record, I place no value on winning the argument.  Just trying to help educate the masses  even those that just don't want to be educated ..... and I fully respect everyone's right to their opinion regardless of how bad and poorly formulated they are

Not by much. And as Brad said it is the anonymity of it. I've gotten along with every board member I've met whether there have been disagreements in discussions or not.  There are only 1 or 2 that make me a bit crazy with their posts but would still like to meet them.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree with constitutes a pissing match ... and there's no way that even almost every thread turns into one in my estimation.

You're wrong! I've read almost every thread and they almost always do!

Yes, it is an exaggeration, but I've been on and off this board for years because of just this. Brad knows. If you don't think it's an issue, you're not paying attention. I thought we were all BULLS?

Next up, a pissing match over whether there are pissing matches on this Board.
