People who debate to only question and cherry pick the opposer's viewpoints is a horrible way to debate IMO since they haven't proved anything on their end alongside questioning and only proven how narrow-minded and ignorant they are in terms of understanding. At least the opposer has a viewpoint. So what if you don't agree with it?

@ZethaPonderer i think its mainly because people there tend to let emotiojs get the best of them and it results into a ad-hominem festival.
