There's a certain irony in leaving a site you think is beneath you because you think all the people think you are beneath them.
If you choose to debate people (on any subject) on the internet, it is not like a debate in the real world where people are face to face. The things said anonymously online would never fly in person. So people might use forums (I've noticed ALL forums are like this) as a way to let off steam/rage/anti-social tendencies. I've definitely been there.
Right now I find it best to just be helpful to people and leave it at that. I'm not here to convert anyone to anything, and at the same time I'm not here to be converted. Fixing someone elses relationship to the world is none of my business.
If I find myself falling into the debate trap I know my priorities are skewed and that I need to be doing other things in the real world instead.
