So many comments that are backspaced into oblivion after thinking "do I care enough to subject my ideas to the public sphere?" " Will my voice be heard or make any difference?"
If the answer to both is no, which it usually is... I just let it go and move on with my day.
Yup. I will "respond" to so many things, but I tend to not post the response. Just typing out my thoughts is usually enough, and when thinking more critically of what the motivation of my response is, it usually tends to boil down to "I want this other person to think I'm correct". But that's exactly why they responded first, and then it turns into an argument. No one is trying to learn, we're trying to win.
You nailed it, my friend
Wanna argue about it????
A little, yeah.
Who do you think you are?
I AM.
Lol you win
