If you don't believe in it, why participate? ??

What makes you think that I don't?
I just think that it needs to be capable.

OK, taking a reciprocal, dissection and various functions related to the network of meanings that are implied in your statement, I am ashamed.

I do believe.

Do I have to be voted-in to the World Council or can I just parachute in?

Conversion occured in my thread?
I'm honored.

everybody challenges everybody, here.

some people fall under the radar.  others don't.
after we have taken our turns properly training you, then we will accept you for who you are.
a contradiction, i know.

but this is how we all mark our territory.

eventually, people will just accept that you like to argue the opposite, just because that is who you are.  and you will be given more leeway.

Oh, I don't mind being pissed on (at least figuratively),
but I think that you're wrong that I just argue the
opposite at all times. I do try and present views that
I don't hold, at times, but most of what I've espoused
is closer to what I believe than the side that I oppose -
at least at the moment.

Fine.
It was mainly something Dunc said earlier to me combined with Odeon's post to you in this thread. The conversion happened slowly, but whether the WC has won or lost is yet to be decided.
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Why?  Just to argue for something that you do not even believe in?

To examine. To see if maybe there is something
worthwhile in that line of thought. Sometimes,
things that I haven't even considered come to
mind in conversation, and seem worth an exploration,
at the least.

So you're practicing a verbal form of Jeet Kune Do??

More people need to do that. You learn a lot by doing that.

I have argued both sides of various arguments in the past.    Usually with two different usernames (one arguing each side) on forums to make threads more interesting and cause huge flame wars.    It is fun lighting the fire and walking away slowly, people forget you even started the problem in a thread 30+ pages later.   Just sit back and watch the train wreck of humanity.
:P   Internets are super serious.

I don't think I have had to.   The argument is already formed and I put one on each side, usually I go to either extreme.  I usually only post once or twice on one username and then a few more times on the other.   By then the fire is usually lit and I can sit back and watch.   This was mostly on the FFXI end game board I got banned on haha.   I went after a couple of mods and my main username got banned.   

I actually have a thread where people can ask me questions.   This is calandale's thread, I would feel bad for postwhoring in here but that is what he does all the time.
:P   Internets are super serious.
