This happens quite a lot (too much?) on LUGNET. Once positions have been
adopted in debates, the same points get raised again and again... and the
same response is given each time. Ultimately, the whole debate turns into a
shouting competition, and then it all fizzles out after some name calling.
Consensus is seldom reached. I do not have enough experience of the "net" to
say if this is a problem that only LUGNET has(?).
I am convinced that a lot of the big noise makers here, would not say "boo"
to a goose in real life{1}.
