"i dont think arguing is the problem. its arguing that results in people losing their nerve that is the problem. understandably, these movies inspire a great amount of emotion, being good for those of similar opinion and all the more bad for those of differing opinion. i would imagine the webmaster has read some of the altercations here and seen that they're not entirely instigated by that one person we all know, but by others too, and thats why he made this thread. ill certainly do my best to keep awayf from any personal attacks, and hope that the webmaster is able to identify those who simply argue and disagree for the sake of it."
"Arguing is not being criticised, but the lack of manners and social common sense."
So I think the general consensus is that there's nothing wrong with arguing, per se, as long as it has a point and doesn't involve putting down other people.
