Disagreement is healthy, but some of the fan fights we saw weren't. I can remember having a Buffy site or two recommended to me, going there and being greeted with a warning from the person in charge that read something like "If you don't agree with me about Buffy+So-and-So then don't post here." Didn't matter if I agreed or disagreed I didn't go farther into the site. Considering how bitter some people got it was understandable why they wanted to limit what was said. On the other hand if there is no give and take what's the point?

There were some pretty nasty fights even on ATPOBTVS, though people tell me it was more civil than a lot of other places. Sometimes the people who got into it were personal friends and it was hard to stay out of it.

Everybody wants to be right, but sometimes nobody is. I certainly need to be reminded of that occaisionally.
