Here are my top 5 reasons ENWorld is a good place to argue:1. Everybody has enough information to participate in most of the arguments because they are grounded in a rules system everyone knows. This is superior to a place like The Forge, where half the treads begin with multi-page essays that the thread poster writes to in which he creates various neologisms and redefines various English words that you thought you know the meaning of before you started reading the first post.2. Thanks to the moderators, people are limited from engaging in ad hominem attacks so the arguments tend to be about ideas and concepts rather than name-calling. 3. The culture of the boards encourages clip and quote responses so that people stick closely to what others are saying in their responses.4. ENWorld attracts an intelligent bunch of posters, many of whom bring education and professional expertise to the forums that enriches debate.5. Because things other than arguments happen here and many of the most prolific posters have met in person, the boards are never enveloped by a general tone of acrimony as some exclusively conflict-oriented fora are.</blockquote>
