Yeah arguing on the Internet is a waste of time which is why I don't do it much anymore unless I feel very strongly that someone's reply to my comment needs to be disputed.

Most of the time I make my point then don't bother responding to any replies. It's much more pleasant to respond when it's you're not arguing, just discussing something interesting.

Sometimes I commit to online arguments to vent out frustration from irl problems. "The worst that could happen is I get banned."

Arguing for something you believe in is a thankless job, considering it only changes opinions once every twenty five times, and gets you flak, infinite arguements or insults the other Twenty four times
