Several points. Firstly, I am not suggesting starting an argument, merely continuing one. This is generally more fun, as it allows one to nitpick, much the same as I am currently doing.
And in the same vein, CoffeeAddict, aren’t you in danger of starting an argument here? So in keeping with your own dictum, I’ll steer away from disagreeing too strongly. But, if it isn’t too controversial, the answer to your question is Yes, I derive great pleasure from it.
And regarding Y2’s point regarding arguing – sorry, disagreeing amicably – online, I believe it has one strong advantage, that it enables the participants to be far more concise and to the point than in real life, where there is a much higher likelihood of getting sidetracked.
But of course, none of that is what I actually think.
