MtheGM,

I have no idea what Max meant when he wrote that. But I do observe that is is quite possibly to have a lively discussion with out being "argumentative." You and Bill D do it all of the time.

I think the difference is arguing to come to an accord or to exchange information about a subject rather than arguing to pick a fight.

There are a few people on this forum who fit my definition of argumentative. They know who they are. You probably know who they are. Its like the judge said about porn, I can't exactly define it but I know it when I see it. I won't point out who those people are, because they may not take it well and that might be argumentative.
