Please help me get into an internet argument

Post 116079 by Anonymous deleted for the following reason: The core question here—where are some places where conflicts happen/are okay, maybe?—seems kinda reasonable, but some of the details of what you're asking are not so great, and I don't think it's entirely cool to ask for targets for manufactured conflict. Maybe think this through a bit more, drop us a line if you need to discuss it. -- cortex

Post 115498 by sixcolors deleted for the following reason: sixcolors - you need to ask questions in AskMe that do not all devolve into terrific trainwrecks. This question is not a good example of "how can I ask a question of the MeFi community that is not going to go badly from the get go" Please try again next week if this is very important to you or run your question by one of the mods first. -- jessamyn
