I say appears because thats not to say it actually does, rather thats the appearance we present. I don't consider it a worthy trade but you're entitled to your opinion.
Not to be too sarcastic, but I didn't realize we were performing for an audience. We're a community of people with different opinions and different methods. Yes, many of us debate extremely dishonestly and many of us (myself included) don't think that adults should have to censor themselves to spare someone's feelings. We get to choose who we care about. Being careful about people who are being dishonest dicks is just too much work. I would rather put my effort in where it is deserved.
