For some reason everytime I go pee I think of new things;
Many times when I want to know more information about a belief, a case, or a principle, I'll hide my own position. Why? Because I know that by presenting my own opinion, the respondent will be less likely to give me his honest response. It will be tailored to counter my beliefs, rather than give me information about their own.
If, for example, I want to know why someone believes in Christ. If I tell them I'm an Atheist, the discussion is ENTIRELY different than if I simply ask them why they believe in Christ and listen. Since the board enforces the "Post your opinion first" idea, I'd have to denote that I were an Atheist or completely lie and say I was a Christian. Neither is really productive when I just want information or perspective from real people that I won't get from Google.
