Why do so many threads end up with arguements on them?

[stephec]

So someone comes on here and posts a question asking for advice, see the recovery drink topic for example, and they get a few good replies.

Then there follows page after page of two or three people bitching at each other because they don't agree with the advice that the other one has given to the OP.

So someone has a different opinion to you, get over it you big girl.

Feel free to discuss this, but no arguing about it right.

I don't agree with that at all. It's completely ridiculous to suggest everything becomes an argument. Are you just trolling....

Some people are just idiots and/or have too much time on their hands

it's online therapy... one argues on the interweb so they don't have to do it so much in the 'real' world... and relax.

I must admit, I often see threads with quite innocuous titles that have run to a disproportionate number of pages and I suspect they've turned into a pissing contests.

I don't know why it is (other than trolling) but it seems to happen often.

Are you talking about me?

Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

This is because not enough people have not enough people on Ignore. After a major purge last week, I now find this forum to be a very friendly and relaxing place.

It's deliberately being a bit of a d!ck.

Posting provocative comments knowing full well you're going to wind people up.

I bet you only see about five new posts a day.
