What's wrong with engaging in the matter (as long as it doesn't suck up lots of time)?

You certainly have a knack for asking pertinent questions, Czymra.
I haven't been lurking or participating here until recently, but so far I've noticed that personal non-engagement policies seem to stand out. In fact, it seems to me that it's almost more of a passive aggressive pose than simple non-aggression.
This thread is titled provocatively, especially towards Nexus participants, so it's good to see that a few have come forward to defend it. OTOH, in some other threads where I've posted, it seems that one can post a position that is 90-180º from the flow of the dialog and no one accepts what is a direct challenge to their position. I understand that y'all had a pretty wild ride here a few months ago, and now it's calmed down and peaceful, but it seems to me that understanding, expansion and elevation of consciousness cannot occur in a venue like this without dialog.
I don't challenge anyone's beliefs or PoVs in order to be more right, it's always to bring an issue into the light. I also try not to talk out my ass...in other words I'm prepared to defend my position, though I'm also willing to concede to a higher order of understanding. So here's what I'm curious about...are people writing rote views that they don't fully understand or support themselves, so when challenged, they can only pass? Or do they smugly decline to engage at all, so as to always be right? (OK, 3rd choice...fuzzy, peaceful, bliss that needs no defense.)

And, conversely, when they don't stand in silence, only a few Nexus defenders bother to stand up.
