Like if I was at a party with my friends I wouldn't let loose on my opinion about dogs because half the people I know have dogs. I wouldn't want to cast a shadow on a fun Friday night by listing all the reasons I think their lovable little dog is completely disgusting. Those conversations are a total buzzkill IRL, but on CP can lead to fun debates.

Absolutely, but in some cases those debates turn into a handful of posters ragging on you continually. It hasn't happened to me in a few years at least, but if I was mikey posting in a thread like this, I wouldn't want to hang around long. Maybe I have learned to be more diplomatic, who knows.
If I wanted to get crapped on I would play video games all day and then go up and ask my wife what was for dinner and complain that the house wasn't clean.
