I think some discussions are going somewhere. I don't think ALL that's happening is fighting, and going back and forth arguing.
I thought arguing was different than debate, and I, curious, looked up the definition.
To put forth reasons for or against; debate:
To attempt to prove by reasoning; maintain or contend:
To give evidence of; indicate:
To persuade or influence (another), as by presenting reasons:
According to that definition, I don't believe arguing is a bad thing.
I think fighting however is useless...
def. A quarrel or conflict.
To engage in a quarrel; argue:
Idioms:
fight fire with fire
To combat one evil or one set of negative circumstances by reacting in kind.
And I believe debate is healthy...
To consider something; deliberate.
To engage in argument by discussing opposing points.
To engage in a formal discussion or argument.
