..Pretty much this. The sad truth is that in a lot of RP circles, telling someone that their opinion is wrong will cause more fights than it'll solve, and I've seen too few people be able to actually have a debate without eventually making an argument out of it.
I can agree that debates are NOT arguments. Except when they eventually become one due to one person getting offended by the other.
