Emotional detachment is a wonderful thing. Comes in handy when the mushy feelings come along.

It comes in handy more than one would expect on a political forum.

Keeping your emotional cool in a heated political debate is what separates the men from the boys. Unless it's a debate on feminism. Then it separates the children from the adults. #equalrights!!11

I'd just say it separates the me from the discussion, to be honest. When a debate degrades into silliness, I give up. Old, entrenched habit.

Well, I agree there. If a debate has just become emotional and unconstructive, then leaving may be the best course of action.

Quiet, I have a headache.



Also, I've been using the dark theme for NS for about a week now. I don't know how my eyes didn't melt now that I look at the default theme.
