There's light hearted devil's advocacy and then there is the aggressive, unconstructive kind. I think battisti is trying to stop the latter.
If I say that I think OOTP needs to focus on X, and you reply that you don't agree that Y needs to be taken care of first, there is really not much reason for me to attack you for wanting Y or for you to counterattack by saying X is ridiculous. It's not constructive and doesn't get us, individually or as a community, or the game to a better place than it was before we started attacking each other. In fact, the attacks may have a chilling effect on others who won't post their thoughts since they don't want to be flamed for believing that aging is screwed up or that despite the aging drawbacks, the game is fun.
