You learn far more from people with a different view. Too many people are talking to themselves. Teasing a bit, We all do that from time to time. You LOOSE one or the other side of the argument.
I often wonder just why people get their undies in a bundle over what is posted, here and wherever. We're not interacting with people, but with words on a screen. If those words happen to contradict something that we believe (or, all too often, a certain prejudice that we are married to)...so what? ignore it or answer it. But giving in to an emotion reaction is merely legitimizing it. And why do that? Is it that important that other people need to believe precisely what you believe?

All too often people are not looking for information, but VALIDATION. And when that isn't forthcoming...well, that's when those undies start bundling up.
