Un-mute your mutelist...
I realized today that you CAN have good conversations with people you disagree with...
Like take for intense ghost420...We all know who he is...And when it comes to politics I disagree with him a lot...BUT on other topics we have good conversations...
Same with a few other well known conservative people here...
True there may be things you don't like or agree with on a certain topic...But that doesn't mean there isn't common ground or other topics that you could learn from or add to...
So yeah do it... Un-mute and let ALL of offtopic into your life...

For some users, muting is more an act of insecurity than dislike or exasperation. When headstrong people find their belief system regularly called into question with compelling, well thought criticisms, their instant reaction becomes bias preservation. It is easier to just silence - in the spirit of the Ostrich with its head in the sand - ideas that call scientific dogma into question.
