Posters like both BB's and Redqueen and Sea take certain topics on and do a great job. I'll only do it if they come here, or if I think they have something say, but not the ability or perhaps the desire--to adequately express themselves or occasionally when the assholism quotient is so high I feel obligated. There are a few I will guarantee are icky MRA trolls

Not every topic starts out as flame bait, and I accept that, but there's trigger words like porn, prostitution, etc. that it's impossible to have a decent debate over.

There's one little cheerleader I find exceptionally appalling, and there is just no way for me to ever be pleasant to that person. So I never engage them.
