	I think the chief difference is that the banter dies out quickly (until
the next silly topic), while the contentious discussions just go on and
on and on. I'm as guilty as any, but perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if
everyone has their say then lets it drop. But that rarely happens.

	Heh. That's the argument spammers use, and I loathe spam. You need a
better reason for why it should be acceptable.
