They will go and state the same opinion in another thread and I would do the same. The same cycle will continue. Isnt it better to have a enjoyable discussion where you get to read varied opinions and forget about them?

Phew!! More or less the same question in the other topic, so I clubbed this into one.
It's only a 'fun activity' and nobody's going to gain anything. But like I said in the other thread, some discussion would give clarity of thought. Yeah, if they're stubborn, they wouldn't even bother discussing it because they aren't open to changing their opinion. But this is not about them. I'm just saying
there is no harm if there in a discussion. And it is not bullying or forcing. Because the member would have the option to choose whether to hold a discussion or not. They could always ignore and avoid a person who is asking for an explanation. It's as simple as that.

Exactly! No harm in that. And by proof I didn't mean solid proof or anything. Just that there would be some base to any story.. But yes, if it is baseless, it is pointless to hold a discussion.
