Why I love this forum

That is pretty much how all forums that are active work, with the biggest difference being the aggression/hostility level and general board IQ.

If we all agreed or didn't disagree a thread would be a single post with 127 likes. If someone's opinion is not the popular or majority opinion then they should expect healthy debate from multiple sources.

I have owned and moderated multiple forums from sports, to gaming, to cars... the subject matter changes but the rest is similar.

Debate between people with an open mind is healthy and educational. It gets sideways when people have ownership of an idea, an agenda, or go ad hominem.

I like it here, I know who knows what, who the stat guys are, the theory guys, and who played what... I know who to walk away from because they have a chip, and who to poke at because they have a sense of humor.
