Some people also hold grudges.
Some people like to get into a battle royale.
Some will stick to a position in spite of a mountain of evidence against it. (Sounds like the GOP.)
Some are one issue politicos. Nothing else matters but that one trigger point.
But rational discussion ignores all of these transient things.
I have no DUers on ignore. Discussion here should always be on the issues, always speak to the known facts, and always impersonal. Passion is always allowed. Name calling, never.
That's where many of us go off the rail here. It's easy when typing on a PC (or whatever). I've done it myself here. But I still have nobody on ignore because I value people's judgement even when I disagree with them. If a discussion begins to go south, I exit gracefully and politely.
It also takes a good person to admit fault.
