So many people come at them expecting to change other people's mind. To force feed their opinion to the rest of the participants and then lolyou if you disagree.
It also often doesn't take long for the insults to start flying.
These coupled with the fact that you will almost never change strongly held beliefs in a short period of time, esp on the nameless faceless Internet means that discussions are generally going to be fruitless.
How many of you can actually raise your hand and say you can in here with any shred of chance to have your opinion changed?
You know what, this is actually quite true.
It's also the reason why I called the MB/CN tantrum a "charade." Because that is exactly what it is. It's pretend. Kabuki. Play-acting. Two bored trolls getting their jollies inventing a drama where they are the stars of show. Look at what they posted in the 2015 Miss POG Finals thread:

That is me spending 5 minutes, looking at literally
one thread, and pulling four quotes. I'm sure there's a whole treasure trove, because MB/CN heartily participated in Miss POG over the years. And apparently they both viewed it purely as a looks contest as recently as 2015. And now they are up in arms about the social injustice of these sexist brutes not caring about personality or brain or accomplishments? Give me a ****ing break.
It's an invented crisis born out of an extended troll, nothing more and nothing less. And nobody should be engaging MB or CN as serious, because I assure you, they are 10,000% not genuine or serious.
