Yes, but I just see the whole idea of arguing with someone on the
internet to be a big waste of time because neither person is going to
change the other's opinion. No one is ever going to say:

"By golly, you're right! I just never thought of it that way before.
Thanks for setting me straight!"

Won't happen. All that ends up happening is that the discussion turns
into an argument and the argument turns into a name calling/insult
hurling contest, and that turns into two people not speaking to each
other on the board for a few months. It's kind of inevitable how things
seem to always work out that way online.

Maybe better to avoid that path right from the start cuz it always leads
to the same end result; two people not talking to each other because the
other one is stupid.

Maybe you have not paid attention. Just last week or so I was
corrected by bubba, in another thread, about "investigative
detention". He showed me I was wrong, I conceded he was correct and
learned something in the process. I'm retired LEO w/25 years
experience and had never heard of it. I felt I was correct but learned
I was not. I publicly stated that. Other times I've been corrected and
apologized.

Then we have the resident limey troll from the U.K., harry. He is a
constant lying liar, always telling lies, a bigot and a socialist.
Allowing him to spew his lies must be corrected. The idiot moron
******* and I remind of it.

.... you danged Canuck!
