My number 1 rule about an opinion: You can't prove one, but you can agree with one. If a majority agree's with an opinion, it isn't fact because agreement relies too heavily on factors that are not constants. Factors such as where a person lives, how a person grew up, education etc. All of these have an impact on an opinion and if were changed would change the person's opinion.
Far too grown-up for me. A little flame-fest here and there has not harmed anyone and is fun, you just have to keep it at a reasonable level, use facts to back up your opinions and try not to get personal.
There are threads where it is not polite, for example it would be pretty rude to turn a polite conversation into a raging debate. On the other hand threads like "Why does the PS3 suck", "Is the Wii incapable of displaying good graphics" or "The 360 is a piece of crap" are threads where everyone knows what he is getting into.
This is the internet after all!
So I try to respect other people and acknowledge facts and arguments that invalidate my opinions. But that doesn't mean that we all have to agree with each others opinions like in some Disney Highschool musical.
