I think to understand fully why and what factors cause a thread to die is to go back and do the research
I'm not volunteering!
I had a recent thread go 23 pages, but it was basically 22 pages of me and another person arguing and one page of the mods telling us to knock it off...so it really doesn't count. Lol
greeneyes made a good point, if it's debatable or can be argued.. it tends to last.
Add reason and logic like Scoob said... it tends to die, lol.
And then there's the ultimate ego crusher and invasion of the comfort zone factor... When someone believes strongly in something and someone else poses a statement that threatens what the other one believes, there's a tendency to take either the fight or flight stance. Especially when it involves one's ego.
Could be a lot of reasons
It used to bother me when it happened to me, but I got over it... with the help of a brutally honest friend who told me... "It's not always about me"
