Is Fluther just for asking questions and getting answers, or can having a reasonable discussion about the topic be included in this process?

I know to some of you this is probably a lame question with an obvious answer, but sometimes Newbies like myself need clarification. I’m really curious. I thought the answer was obvious myself, but it seems I’ve offended someone with my opinions by the simple act of expressing them. Am I mistaken, or is that going against Fluther etiquette? I’m not trying to start any crap, I just really want to know what the community thinks or knows to be true.
