How come when anybody starts a serious topic that will cause a good debate, people get mad at them?

Get out of here and leave us alone.

because 99.999% of the time, it's been done before, 10000x times

and they often wind up as flamefests

Good question!

 

[FoBoT]

there is little debate, mostly flaming and outrageous lies

 

[Special K]

Probably because most of them quickly degenerate from intelligent discussion into flame wars.

People don't like being challenged/proven wrong. That's generally why the only time I'll passionately argue about something will be when I know it's right/true. If I don't, well, I'll probably tell you that.

Holy crap!

What bugs me is that people think ANY thread that might spark a debate belongs in P&N. Even if it has nothing to do with politics! They point to the "news" portion of the name, but we all know that it's really just a politics forum. Nobody complains when NFS4 posts news about cars or Brutuskend posts his crazy news stories and so on... it's just when someone posts a news story that might spark debate that someone pisses and moans about P&N. People even call P&N in religion threads.

I like a thread that sparks some debate. If you don't like it, ignore them.

Looks like this is the 5th time too ... Feb 2001 ---> Feb 2002 ---> Nov 2003 ---> Aug 2004 ---> April 2007

Keeps coming back like a bad rash!
