Passionate? Sure, but also interested in the mindset behind the arguments. I've seen it multiple times, but nobody can quite articulate exactly what it is that convinces them that, say, global warming is a hoax, or that vaccines are dangerous.

It shouldn't do, but it also annoys me that people like lzw get voted up for saying basically nothing - it's either personal attacks or the same tired old cliches. Trying to keep things on topic instead gets interpreted as "refusing to answer the questions".

One question! That's all that I'm asking, and it might give some real insight into the opposing viewpoint, or spark some real discussion, but nobody's taken it up so far, which is sad.
