There are topics which some have
very passionate opinions that are different from the
very passionate opinions of others. Everyone believes they have thought through all the counter-arguments so listening to opposing sides only revisits old ground already covered. Nothing is gained in such exchanges.
This also possibly fuels animosity which can potentially spill into technical discussions. Given that this site focuses on technical discussion, discussing non-technical topics ends up being counterproductive. This is why most on this site stay clear of such potential powder kegs. It serves little purpose, & it does not further our fundamental goal.
