What Topics on BP Get Everyone Riled Up?

Wow. I just read a thread where one of the responses all but called several others out in disagreement over what I thought was a stupendously mundane issue.

There seem to be a number of topics that historically raise the hackles of many on this board. Here are a few I’ve observed that cause many to jump in emotionally:

1) Is wholesaling legal?

2) Does the 70% rule work?

3) What's the difference between hard money and private money?

    I rarely read anything more than my few followed categories so I’m wondering what topics others are emotionally invested in.

    Often, the posts go on and on and never really address the OP’s original question. Please, let’s not open these questions up. I’m more curious why these topics, and perhaps others you can add, seem to draw the ire of some participants here.

    And yes -- guilty. I’ve admittedly gotten sucked in on occasion.
