Why is it that when ever anyone on this site provides a rational argument with facts and well thought out arguments to defend a point it either is totally ignored or some trivial mistake or gap is attacked while all the valid logic and information is ignored?

This behavior appears to cross the console lines, so I am not picking on one fan base here.

So any theories from the rational people out there or any explanation from the offenders? Are people just poor at debate? Are the rational arguments to complex for you? Are you just immature and can't handle objective rational discourse?

From what I have seen my vote is the all of the above for most.

For a great current example of what I am talking about look here.

 

Age of posters. Teens who already have the world figured out and can't be wrong. To prove their "point" they'll argue endlessly. Worse yet, if you leave the thread, they'll follow you into others to show you how right they still are. Amsuing to read, irritating to engage.
