Because we are human. We enjoy interacting and sometimes that means on a serious level in addition to the silly and fun ones. Yes, I know that I am usually in the last group, GR, but not always. I do have a very serious side, I just don't trot it out too often!
And conflict, real "in your face" variety conflict upsets me. I hate to see people hurt or disrespectful and it makes me very sad to be involved in it so I tend to naturally avoid things that might lead there. I have participated in more 'serious discussions' on IW than elsewhere because here I've always been afforded the right to have my own opinion and to voice it without fear of being flamed and ridiculed. I also tend to have a 'mediating' personality, a fence mender if you will and sometimes I see it isn't quite possible to make everyone 'kiss and make up' so I stay out.
That lack of flamewars, btw, was something made clear to me my first weeks on the board and I've never regretted staying here because of that and the warm and friendly people I have met here. You know, I even have reasonably good friends here who don't always agree with me... eef!
Of course I know I'm right... hehe
