Umm...

The problem is that BM attracts many types of people. One of those  
types is the type of person whoi gets a perverse sort of glee in  
politics and intrigue(I myself am one of these people). One near- 
prerequisite of this is the ability to and enjoyment of verbally  
mauling one's opponent, and insisting upon one's viewpoints.  
Basically, because of the political nature of parts of the BM game,  
its gonna attract arguers.
