why do discussions turn to petty squabbles here in the pub?

first someone brings up some issue, like the state of the world economy or elections or the right to carry guns or whatever, first people lay out their arguments, the next guy comes along and says his arguments, then someone dislikes the other persons opinion, tries to prove he's a fool by showing some meaningless facts/statistics. they're meaningless because the other side has their own facts, both say they misinterpret the statistics and even then whatever the numbers THEY are rights. then flaming begins, everyone forgets the original thread idea and starts randomly bashing each other, it's like a food fight in kindergarten.
which can be fun to watch.

It's because we have so many more users that we used to and the mods can't keep up all the time. Summertime is also a bad time, things should chill a bit now that the kids are back in school.
Please use the notify mod feature if flame wars break out!

when flamed i never really feel insulted because i'm arguing with someone who's a thousand miles away from me and besides i don't know him/her so her/his words have no weight on me. it can be amusing as boring. the point being flaming is fun, spamming isn't.

Sounds like life to me. I think we actually do a better job maturity-wise in here than what I see around the rest of my world.

How does one become a mod? JK 
I think alot of people don't understand the nature of a debate. It doesn't usually take very long to weed out who is seriously discussing a subject and who's just trying to start shit.
