I kind of enjoy the back and forth, but maybe I am thicked skinned. Just kind of get a charge out of people getting all worked up about things. Then again it's probably 'cause I grew up Italian and that is what we did!!!

I somewhat agree with your post. I like to discuss issues, but what I run into are posters who present opinions about various topics like diet, golf conditions, restaurants, etc. and when presented with differing opinions or possible explanations dismiss them or describe the poster as out of touch with reality, head in the sand, etc. I see this frequently and it does neither proponents or opponents any good. Real discussion requires people with the intent to present an opinion and listen to opposing or different opinions with an open mind.
However, I don't like to get someone into a lather. I don't think it serves either side to do that. Sometimes it occurs without intent, but it shouldn't be a goal.
