The biggest problem is when two people with opposite views both try to rent space in the other's head. One or both may be overt, one may be very subtle.
I'd rather have people be honest, speak their minds, and be done with it. Have the courage of your convictions; put your logic to the test and see if it holds any water, assuming you have some logic and not just emotional bluster.
I think the best arguments are when two people attack each other's ideas rather than attack the other's character. Very few, in my opinion, are able to do it.
