Something I've been noticing for some time know is that whenever I or anyone else try to make a positive thread about something, a specific issue that's been plaguing us recently or for some time, trying to bring people together, it tends to not last very long, getting up to page three max. Contrast threads where things get heated, Mass Effect 3's ending, Gamergate, transexuals, DLC or anything that rubs us the wrong way, things tend to get much more heated, with things that go up to 1000 comments. I get why heated threads tend to blow up the way they do, everyone trying to get their two cents it, people replying to others and everyone trying to make their voice heard over the throng, but what puzzles me is the lack of interest in the lack of activity in calmer debate. Even I find myself drifting away from it, despite the exaustion more intense debate causes.
Does anyone have any idea what this is the case? Because I have nothing. Or am I just overthinking?
