Ah, the good ol' semantics/perceptions arguments. Like a breath of fresh air.
actually, more like a breath of volcanic ash...
Gee, I don't have much control/power in my real-world life so guess I'll get on the internet and wield all the power I can muster via condesending verbage and over-use of "report-post" button against all those children that are requiring discipline.
Yeah, that'll show'em.
Actually, disagreements, or rather "war", can be a great motivator towards growth and innovation. We don't need Internet Mommies. We need freedom.
Sure, in the real-world complete independence and total equality can not peacefully coexist, because one would always trample on the other.
But this is the internet and we are as equal as our intellect allows and as free as the moderators abstain from power of control.
The abuse of power is the root of all evil. Of course sometimes the abuse of power occurs when one has the power to stop something bad and yet chooses not to stop it.
However, in the case of fact-finding (disputing) it is more motivating when the emotions are so highly engaged. Like the muscle fibers that must be torn down in order to regrow stronger so to can the mind and mental strength.
Most of the great minds through history had great adversaries to contribute.
Stifling all conflict stifles innovation.
100% Satisfaction should come with a bit of humility,
