First, I would say that most of the disagreements that we get into aren’t really about what people like, but rather why they like them, or why they don’t like something else. Or sometimes why they think they won’t like something else.Second, I think the quote is useful as a general guideline, but at the same time, I know I’ve changed my mind plenty of times about movies or books or games, and very often this is due to some input from other people. Some offered insight or new angle, or even just through discussion with someone who enjoys something can be enlightening.Now, that’s not to say the goal of a conversation should specifically be to try and change someone’s mind, but no, I don't agree that people like what they like and never change.What do you say when someone asks you to play a game that’s not fun?You started the thread, sure, and I think you often introduce interesting ideas for discussion. But that doesn’t mean you get to own the discussion. I mean, you said in response to someone who disagreed with you that “everything that needs to be said was in the OP”.In the authoritah thread that you started, you showed back up later on to lament what had happened to it. But there was actually plenty that was being discussed that was both relevant to the topic and perfectly cordial. You never responded to any of that nor even acknowledged it. You just lamented the entire thread.People disagree. It’s okay. This seems to be one of your big things. But when people disagree with you, from what I’ve seen, you seem to struggle with that. You get standoffish and passive aggressive like the post I’ve quoted above, and eventually you kind of do the whole “well I guess you care a lot more than me, so bye <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤷🏻‍♂️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-1f3fb-2642.png" title="Man shrugging: light skin tone    :man_shrugging_tone1:" data-shortname=":man_shrugging_tone1:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />”.I mean, look at how you started this thread. About the topic? Nope….by calling others out.</blockquote>
