I was just about to send you a message to warn you about reading it, batgirl
It seems like easy reading though. Half of it is bitching, rather than educational, so it goes down pretty quickly. Although I still say that the bitching is relevant given what Darth Algar was saying to me in that quoted post.
I assure you batgirl you won't be poisoned by reading it.
It's funny that Darth Algar said you should edit your posts--sounds familiar, right?
Yes, that does seem to be something he shares with other people who were stumped by my points :)
Well I mean, there is a bit of a pattern. People do respond to my points, even the long ones, maybe for 2 or 3 posts, up until I come up with a point that apparently they can't meet. And only then do they seem to stop and complain.
You do have to admit that in general, humans have a very, very strong resistance to changing their opinion, or really, making any concession at all. At first they'll want to actually set up a counter argument, but even when they stop finding them, they'll do anything to justify them keeping their view.
Yeah it's kind of creepy, when people get cornered it's like their minds go CANNOT COMPUTE INITIATE SHUTDOWN, and the rest they say is just nonsense or they get angry and switch the topic to emotional stuff, or they just leave the discussion.
