More than a few bullies on here too. A lot of immature people interpret being disagreed with as a personal attack or something. Get over yourselves.

If you agree, what else is there to say? If disagree, a whole avenue of discussion opens up.

The bad part is when they only use insults and name calling in their discussion.

That is boring and non-productive too. Keep it clean, friendly and interesting. You will attract a lot more of nice people to talk with.
