If you think a person is better than another person, or enjoyed another person more, that's fine. I don't think anybody is going to attack another person for saying they like one wrestler more than another.
But when you start to give completely illogical or crazy reasons, people or going to refute them.
I don't want to sound heartless here, but let's not pretend that there's no such thing as a stupid opinion. When people like one person more than another and find them more entertaining, fair enough, that can't be argued against and that's legitimate. That's all you really need to say to justify voting for them. But if you're going to engage even deeper in the discussion and give reasons for your voting and you say something that's absurd or can easily be contradicted, then yeah, people are going to dissect your argument.
People don't need to post an essay about why they're voting for a person; it'd just be nice to see more people say who they're voting for, and if the reason is simply "I like them more," then that's totally fine.

I agree to some extent, you heartless bastard...
The Bret Hart/Jericho discussion is the one you're referring to most I presume. And it's not unthinkable to me that people didn't much like Bret, especially on the mic, and found him to be boring. I've come across people throughout the years that feel that way, so I don't think it's that ludicrous that someone on here would think that, even if I disagree with it.

Only reason is that I've not seen the other, more well known guy (for example Piper) than the guy I've seen regularly for a few years (Undertaker) so I feel I put down "I've voted for Taker because I've seen him more than Piper" then folks might think "Well, you're just voting for who you've seen" and frankly, don't have the time to trawl through matches, segments as much.
But yeah, on your request, will try to post and vote.

Go ahead and debate, go ahead and disagree, but do it with as much respect as possible.

I don't see how that's a bad thing though. If you've seen a lot of Undertaker and none of Piper - surely that's reason enough to vote for Taker? I don't see how anyone can question that logic.

I know in the Cena v Savage thread, myself and Daz and Messiah were all posting essays at each other, but I don't think any of us came away from it with hurt feelings or thinking any less of anyone else. It's just a bit of fun after all. But the fun is in the debating. If you don't respond to what anyone else says then it's not a discussion, it's just 30 people in the same room, all of them just talking to themselves.
