The Cellar used to be more debate-heavy back in the day. Some of it was good, but a lot of it was chest-thumping, IMO. People wanting to be right at any cost--name calling, humiliation, etc. I tried to be respectful, but inevitably, I too became disrespectful at times.
I'm finally at a good place now--I enjoy debating, but try to make sure I do it for the sake of good talk, not to "win." And I pick and choose my battles better, and know when to walk away.
