Sure, if you call "fun" being a troll who's going around on other distro forums trying to convince people to switch for whatever reason... Because this is how they will see and label you, a troll and nothing more. Some will jump right into the discussion, others will see what's going on and will just not bother.... But if you wanna do that, I'm fine with it. I guess everyone has its own definition of "fun". Like they say: to each his own

Like cmmmon, i mean you guys took me too seriously!! 
I find it absolutely hilarious when a forum thread goes on and on, page after page, debating which of any two distros is better. It happens on our forum too. It happens everywhere.

And did you see the outcome of such threads? More hatred/disliking and war and a final conclusion that neither of the distros discussed is better that the other. The Ubuntu side will keep arguing Ubuntu is better and the openSUSE side will do the same. And in the end you will get a highly biased "conclusion" about which one is better. A conclusion you shouldn't even think of trusting.

It is just really nice to write something innocently controversial (but not scandalous, of course) and watch the fun where everyone joins in. (even if it is against you, it is flattering coz it tells you they actually took you seriously).

I don't think they are taking you seriously. If they did, they will switch over without much arguments. What happens in such discussions is that they are specifically "designed" to let all the fear, anger, doubt, and misinformation come out. It's like an itch you have but couldn't scratch it for a long time. As soon as such a thread starts, you finally get the chance of scratching the goddam nasty itch, and you release all the buildup pressure inside

I mean I had a hearty laugh, seeing how seriously I was just taken here.
Calm down...life is long....

Actually, on the contrary, life is really really short. It may seem long to you because of the way a human perceives things but compared to other things in the Universe, a human life is just a picosecond, if not less. Also there's a high degree of uncertainty in life, hence the saying: you never know when and/or from what you will die.
