There’s a select group of posters on here who are just so set in their views, it’s not worth engaging with them. They’ll persistently accuse you of being wrong on an issue and unable to consider others views, when they are like a brick wall and believe their view should be unchallenged.
I've often wondered what these people aim to achieve out of doing this. Many will go on for days on end, arguing their point, moving goalposts, creating strawmen, iffing and butting until blue in the face.
Why? I honestly can't fathom a possible reason for this apart from loneliness and bitterness in life. I've been on the internet far too long, and seen people argue for days or even weeks on end about something which will affect absolutely nobody and won't achieve a single iota in any of their lives or the existence of anything as a species, yet they'll sit there, bickering for nothing.
I like to point out the stupidity of others and my button is when people pass their opinion off as fact (there are two people on this forum who I suspect couldn't scrape together a double digit IQ together if they combined forces) which often causes me to tell them to stop being a schmuck but most of the time I say my piece and when I realise that I'm talking to someone who's clearly in it for the long haul and has nothing better to do in their lives, I just give up and leave them to it.
Quite sad really. Get a girlfriend already. Or have a tug, like normal people.
