I do too. However....
1. It is tedious, especially when there's a ton of them on the more serious type of topics I start.
2. Other people I'm trying to have the discussion with may get caught up responding to/defending themselves against all the shit posting
3. Sometimes I think someone is being genuine so I respond to them, only to see later on that they were never actually interested in having a discussion and I just wasted my time
4. I feel some folks here, particularly newcomers, quickly get discouraged and leave when they join for the purpose of having a discussion and are instead met with "fuck you, moron!" ...and the like lol.
So yeah, I think it would be a positive addition to the forums.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
