I understand that, especially the stimulation. But when, as I mentioned, half the issues and questions are actually addressed, and the others ignored or just passed over, you really never do understand fully where the other person is coming. It'd be of a greater benefit if people really wanted to learn the other side, to do our best to answer. It's a two way street. If someone is going to ask questions and raise issues, but not expect to answer their opponent's, what does that say? Sure there may even still be stimulation, but it certainly won't be positive.
I certainly don't advocate hiding in caves, etc. but there are better situations and places to do that learning and stimulation. Online, written communication is often the hardest and least personal venues to have such discussions. From just not talking face to face, to the easy and likely misinterpretation, to having the ability to simply ignore, etc.
