The pyramid of debate is a quasi-metric of the validity of an arguments content.
It's not an absolute rule.
Most people's ideas/opinions aren't founded in fact, so the philosophy that the pyramid is predicated on will go against their position(s).
If you find that the pyramid isn't an effective tool to express your position, then there's a good chance that your position is based on a questionable foundation.
You pussy. ;-)

I hope it's not an absolute rule, because sometimes I just want to post a comment, or get something off my chest. Not everything needs to be debated. What do you think?

I strongly disagree.
Just kidding. I just wanted to get a debate started... ;-)

It's not meant that everything has to be debated. It's a guideline for how to relate respectfully, whether you are arguing or not.
