I, for one, wouldn't have it any other way!

When I'm wrong I want it explained to me why. Even when I'm right about something controversial, I want to see the best arguments to the contrary.

I don't want people to be less argumentative. I just want a higher intellectual caliber than what's generally available on facebook or twitter, and HN fits the bill reasonably well.

It's tricky. One has to learn how to disagree without being disagreeable.

Or, get your fuck-you billions and people will start agreeing with you a lot. :-)
