Okay, everyone can resume beating everyone else verbally senseless, I guess. If it hasn't ended yet...I don't see a finale anytime soon.

"The purpose of the new capitalism is to shoot the wounded." ~ Andy Grove, Chairman, Intel Corporation
On one hand, I tend to think the "everybody has differnent tastes" and "can't we all get along" arguments a bit of a cop-out, although I appreciate the reasons for making those points. Nobody making them is doing it for anything but the best reasons, but I just can't agree.
On the other hand, I just DON'T GET an attitude or personality type which dismisses basic civility, or at least fair-play, at least until some line is crossed. Trolls who come out of the woodwork with incomprehensible ranting and raving over reality show contestants, to the exclusion of reason, fairplay or civility, have a newly created special circle of hell waiting for them.
My viewpoint? There are absolutes on taste, and funny, and talent, etc., although admittedly they are based in part on moving targets and cultural viewpoints.
I think intelligent argumentation can (and often SHOULD) be made in favor of certain things being better, at a minimum the Internet would be quite boring if it was an endless progression of people saying simply "X rules!". That said "Y sucks!" is not a very valid form of debate, UNLESS some hard evidence and reasoning is used to support it. More than "I feel", hopefully.
In summary:
Debate: good
Trolls: bad
Can't We All Get Along: Understandible, but I don't agree

Debate: Good (unless the two sides are essentially the same with some difference in some arcane nonsense, then it leads to bloodshed).
trolls: bad (unless they turn out to be cute trolls)
Can't we all get along: I still prefer to get a bong.
