I think it also depends on what we are talking about in a particular thread. This one has been a rollicking free-for-all. It was ostensibly started out as a question about what do we call a particular Caucus. But it was never intended as such by the originator (as you can make out by subsequent posts) and was rather intended as what it became: a free-for-all. A post that asks a question “What is pre-destination and why do you believe in it or not?” would be a better place for a true intellectual argument, provided we don’t digress.
You are imparting motive and that is against the rules of the FR religion forum.
By your posts and this comment you've shown you consider this thread a "free-for-all." I can assure you, many of us don't.
But this does go a long way in explaining your behavior.
