Personally, I find "argument and conflict" is a dick behavior in the first place. As I said, polite discussion is encouraged. Polite discussion is not the same as "argument and conflict."
But argument and conflict are a part of life, especially when dealing with things about which you're passionate. One can be passionately energetic and assertive in an argument without insulting or trolling or something like that. I think it's pretty unreasonable to expect people to remain in some sort of formal polite calm bubble when discussing important things.
