"I will counter with a question..."
I argue here like I do in person. I'm not afraid to do so. And if someone argues back with facts and evidence, I don't feel the urge to rearrange their dental work. If I quote a statistic and their immediate go-to is to call me a diick-eater, or that my mother is a whore, then the dental work might occur.
So tell us: When you argue with someone in public, are you the tough guy that you are here, and immediately call them a "diick-licker", or do you hold back for fear of getting bltch-slapped like you did to your ex-girlfriend and your sister?
You have expressed the sentiment MANY times that you dislike that I argue with people who argue back with me. YOU are one of those people who argue back.
IF you hate the idea so much, why do you do it? Or do you just hate being argued with and always want what you say to just be accepted as true and accurate?
If you are so uncomfortable with what happens in Thunderdome, then perhaps Thunderdome is not the place for you. Maybe go into a safer place and discuss things that can't be argued, like Ohm's law in relation to alternator and battery choice. Or Thiele-small parameters in relation to sub box size. Crossover points. Wire gauge. Etc.
Or maybe just talk about your opinions on things where you CAN'T be wrong, like your favorite candy, or color, or preferring redheads over blondes, or normally aspirated over turbo.
If you don't want arguments, discuss stuff that can't be argued.
It's honestly not that difficult.
