Because, if someone doesn't agree with me, then I must be wrong! I don't like being wrong, because it makes me feel weak, insecure, and vulnerable. So, I must eliminate dissent, because I'm always right! lol. Must be human nature. Oh, and define "reason." All writing is propaganda.

Minimus,
Well, 'Thats entertainment' - normally the reason most long term posters who are well passed WTS issues keep coming back. Those newly exited are looking for help and support and then gradually they too fall into similar patterns of posting. Then it becomes all about entertainment.
When this Board was how shall I put it, more like the Wild West, it was much higher on the Big Board listings that it is now. Vigorous debate, disagreements, etc. result in increased Internet traffic which tells us a lot about human nature. We are not really that far removed from our more tribal instincts. The posters who soak up the most bandwidth are always the 'trolls', some obvious, some like myself more sophisticated.
There has been nothing new written in exposure of the WTS on this Board for years, just the same arguments regurgitated from different angles the same questions, the same answers, just like a Sopa Opera the script becomes more unbelievable each year. Nothing left to say.
errr....what was your question again?

It would be boring if everybody agreed all the time, wouldn't that be like being back in the borg again? Different backgrounds, personalities bring out different viewpoints.

Depends on the agenda and the "reason." Go for it, if it makes you happy. Reasonable people know the difference between reason and irrationality. Who cares what the irrational people think? After all, they don't run the world, er, or, what?

Yeah...I noticed that while I was on hiatus, y'all have got some weirdos coming out of the woodwork!
Y'all better pack up and get back to hiding, because the sheriff's back in town!

"responding to posters with an agenda, who won't listen to reason..."
are you referring to the wanderer?
no, you must be referring to yourself.
