So why do you continue to bother with certain posters whom you know are gonna continue being the way they are. I rarely bother with certain ones, b/c as I said 5,000,000 times, people don't change. Argueing in this sense is overrated, with exceptions of course, like if you're argueing to teach, but that's when your students are willing to listen to you. Most people, who argue, however, are NOT willing to listen, even though, ironically, we have 2 ears and just 1 mouth.
That is a good point. I've often times wondered why I still talk to you as well
You have to remember I don't change either. I will get 40 posts in before I realize that the other person just isn't interested in debating the topic at hand. That's why I need young whippersnappers like yourself to snap me out of it. You've posted with me long enough to know that I will ignore a poster one month, only to find myself embroiled in a 4 week long conversation the next month with the same poster about whether Tim Duncan is better than Clarence Weatherspoon. 99% of the time this happens during the offseason when no one is really interested in talking about basketball. Let's be real, outside of Nixluva not to many guys are staying on topic. I on the other hand am starved for any topic. That's why I find myself forcing someone to talk about the relevancy of the KNicks to people in other states, when all they really want to do is write poetry.
