"i like arguing."

Me too, I love it! I totally agree.

"i like conversations that matter, where there is, so to speak, skin in the game."

But this conversation in particular between you and I doesn't matter, and none of us have any skin in this game.

"i hate small talk, although i recognize that it plays a useful lubricating role between people."

I don't know what you mean. How's the weather?

"as the post mentions, there is a vibrancy that comes from disagreement, not contradiction (monty python in the hizzous), but actual argumentation, where people are working out and explaining differing positions."

No there's not.

"the most creative one i can remember was the house i lived in was going to try to address issues that weren't getting worked out (someone had been talked about a few times and wasn't changing their behavior) by writing a song about it. so if there was a song, then that was an indication of a high level of frustration. fun idea. didn't really happen. but could've!"

Yeah, living in houses with people is terrible, tell me about it.
