If you can't handle having your views challenged, maybe you should steer clear of the controversial topics and stick to the forum game threads? What is silly, trite, and small minded is turning discussions about issues into discussions about other people, their backgrounds, what you think makes them tick, etc, over, and over, and over, and over, every time someone disagrees with you. Hell, you don't even wait until someone disagrees with you.
