To break the discourse in this thread down to a dichotomy is a wholesale inaccurate representation of the posts entered into this forum.I tend to have a competitive mindset, but there are some things from the casual ideology that I can agree with. While I find these terms to be an accuate depiction of the two extremes on this site, I agree that viewing the situation as a dichotomy is too simplistic a perspective. There are a lot of positions one could take on an issue, but the casual and competitive subgroups have lead to polarization of this forum. I have observed a lot of taking sides, to the detriment of real discussion.
Giving people a parameter of two sides that they must choose to view their thoughts from creates a disconnect from thinking of a variety of answers to complex issues.This sounds eerily like American politics...
