The Baha'i Faith

[zanOTK]

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.

And why is that? If you do not remain polite, and calm, then you have most likely allowed your passions to dominate your reasoning abilities. In my opinion, in any discussion of important matters it is reason, not passion, that is most important.
