I'm honestly having a hard time understanding you here; you seem to be moving away from the point that we were discussing before, which is whether or not saying that no point is ever beyond debating means (i.e. necessarily implies) that you're owed a debate.Then why question (+) threads? It's not about whether X or Y opinion is acceptable or showed to hold out anything. It's a declaration that X or Y idea is irrelevant and/or damaging to the conversation that the poster is trying to create.. What is so terrible about accommodating that request?
I don't believe that it does.
If you're saying that you see no other reason for why someone would ever make that assertion, then that strikes me as a failure of imagination. Insofar as (+) threads go, I don't think that disagreeing with the premise is "irrelevant" or "damaging" or "terrible" (presuming that's what you meant; as I said, I found your post quite hard to understand); it's that people have a different opinion that they see value in sharing, and don't believe that it should be preemptively disallowed (or sequestered off to another thread where other interested parties might not see it).
