A lot of people associate "debating," with fighting an arguing with just an extra coat of paint. I think we should focus less on the semantics.
Who in their right mind associates debating with fighting and arguing, that is why we call it debate, because it is none of those things. OP got a healthy amount of differing opinions (some more or less flattering), people who felt the same way as them and people who did not feel the same way. Day in and out you have people with different opinions get ridiculed in these forums, tongue in cheek comments are the standard here. The problem OP presents is something that is wildly accepted as well, just look at the three RMT policy change threads going around. Even if their original meaning was more along the lines of "People are being fake polite and ghosting me in the next second, you cannot have differing opinions in this game." You got plenty of others trying to hyperbole of not being able to "express themselves" in fear of getting a strike. THIS didn't seem like what the OP was talking about. I've said it before and I'll say it again, it does not matter what kind of rules a game enforces, it cannot change peoples behaviors, only stiffle them.
Also I find it ironic how much the thread title echoes in the comments.
