However I can't really see the point of a forum with completely homogenous view points where any debate or contrary position which is reasonable and not gratuitously offensive is shouted down.
Me neither. That's why I put @greenhell on ignore long, long ago. Makes the place much more like a forum for discussion and debate rather than a venue for flinging personal abuse at anyone who has the temerity to express a different point of view. It's not a perfect or complete solution, as there are other LFGSSers who seem to treat a difference of opinion as an existential threat, but since there are no downsides it's a step in the right direction.

I've been quite civil in disagreeing with a post, I've stated why I disagree with the poster. I've been reasonably polite throughout, a few people who disagree with me have been vocal, fine with me I'm not going to burst into tears over it. Do I give a shit if a couple of gobshites are not going to be my internet friends course I don't, do I wish them any ill will course not its just a cycling forum. However I can't really see the point of a forum with completely homogenous view points where any debate or contrary position which is reasonable and not gratuitously offensive is shouted down.
