[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9404137, member: 4534"] I find this site to be fairly good in those regards. We don't always agree of course, but the format makes it easier to have a little nuance compared to the limited characters you can play with on Twitter. I tend to define the world in terms of MGibsters. Are you taller than me? You're tall. Are you shorter than me? Then you're short. So it stands to reason that whatever I happen to believe must be the correct belief. And it can be tough, engaging in good faith debate can lead to accusations of Sealioning. And then people have different styles of communication. When I disagree with someone's conclusion I go after their premises. i.e. Their arguments in favor of that conclusion. To me, this is just the basics of what I was taught to do in middle and high school when we had to write persuasive essays, but some people find that particular method of arguing very annoying. As Muhammad Ali said, "The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life." As far as gaming goes, there a lot of things I did back when I was 15 I wouldn't do these days. I'm just not the same degenerate I was back then. I'm a whole different kind of degenerate. [/QUOTE]
