I chose "mildly diverted" for my feelings on the Internet debate, but in actuality I am both Hostile and Fascinated. A lot of what's written in the debates is astonishingly stupid, stupider than should even be put forward by stupid people. But when reasonably smart people say stupid things, there's always something interesting going on. I think user has had the best things to say (and the best things to say about what other people are saying) over on his Cure for Bedbugs blog (which is one of the best blogs on the Web anyway). We've batted around a bunch of ideas on the comments threads.
this is pretty much my position as well - I am fascinated by the debates themselves, the fact that they exist and the terms which are bandied around within them, but I am hostile to and bored by many of the arguments in them.
