Arguing on the internet is difficult because you can't see someone's face or hear their voice, you don't know if they are upset, winking at you, or what not. So often, I find myself taking something personally that isn't meant that way at all, or misreading it. It's hard to tell.
The other problem? Lately I've been arguing negotiating with people for a living. Daily. So I need a break from it. 8 hours a day is enough. ;-)
But mainly?
I read all the reviews as well and I actually agree with your analysis by the way. (So the items that we could debate which would be fun to debate and would not cause spikes in blood pressure, at least on my end, aren't well there. Because I do agree with the analysis. That's not what we disagree on.] Where we disagree is on such a purely subjective or emotional level - a level we can't debate without royally pissing each other off. ;-) Whenever emotion enters into an argument...you risk losing a lot more than an argument, and I can't think of many things worth that.
