So who will be the first one to go 'Lol Vincent' at this post or 'XFD are you kidding me l0s0r'
Alright, let me explain to you why we all act so extreme on this board, and it's the same reason you have been coming and will keep coming to this board for years.
You can't find it anywhere else. If you want a calm, "nuanced" debate, go talk to your coworkers or some random guy on the bus. If you want to talk about typical, socially acceptable, mundane topic, go talk to your neighbor or classmates or something.
There are so many places for you to find your precious nuanced debate. But there are few places where you can find people who will debate with you to the most extreme point, with no regard for tact, dignity, friendship, emotions, or any of that other stuff that stifles everyday discussions. While you might say that you can find this sort of discussion anywhere on the internet, only b8 has people who are actually intelligent and can back up their stances with facts and logic (around 50% of the time, at least).
So basically you subconsciously crave the aggressive discussions we have on this board because you like having your viewpoints and beliefs challenges, and being able to defend them
