If it's something I feel strongly about or feel like I know a lot about, then hopefully adding something that other people find interesting, and when it's something I don't really have fixed opinions on it's the opposite, I like to see what other people think, maybe see something interesting that I hadn't considered before. It's good just to see a broad range of perspectives on things because I think we can all live in a bubble of our own opinions sometimes and it's good to look outside that and be open to consider view points you wouldn't normally think yourself or come across in day to day life. Also, making the mods cry and tasting their tears, but that's kind of an obvious answer.

Very interesting to see the poll results. I personally really love to debate, though usually more for the process than the end result. I don't think it's an exercise in futility. I learn a lot through argument.

I don't much care for anonymity, I actually clicked 15 of the answers, but these are my main four:

1. I love to debate the most divisive topics. That's where we see real people/convos happen.

2. I want to share my ideas, I don't really care if people agree, but I am curious about their opposition.

3. I want to re-affirm the apparent destruction of humanity.

4. I just want to prove Kirk wrong.
