[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 5699835, member: 7006"] But what's wrong with debate? Debate is good. Debate allows you to make your points and then see the other side, perhaps even expanding your own vision on the subject. What would you prefer to have? People come on here, say their one piece of why they don't like healing surges, and that's it? The thread would pretty much have died out 6 pages ago because once you make that single post explaining why you don't like it... there's nothing more to say. A dozen people rant for a paragraph, and then the thread goes away. What would be the point? The fact that someone on the [I]other side of the question[/I] asked the question in the first place pretty much presumes that there will be discussion on the subject. The fact that people responded to him tells us that those who didn't like healing surges CARED ENOUGH about their opinions to try and make a point to someone who didn't hold the same. This wasn't someone posting "I hate healing surges, who's with me?" and then getting a response from like-minded individuals. This was someone on the other side asking a question TO GENERATE CONVERSATION. So really... it's your side that resulted in all the debate in the first place... because your side felt the desire to respond to Mercurius with your opinions. And don't get bent out of shape just because others on Mercurius' side felt like adding their voices to it. If you didn't care to have the conversation, you wouldn't have taken Mercurius up on his question. [/QUOTE]
