I see. I have some experience in such kind of forums. They are good training of our character and fighting qualities but damage our ability to listen and understand anything new.

As for me I finally came to the conclusion that educating myself and expanding my own horizon is much more worthy objective of discussion than trying to convince anyone in anything. Usually I contradict an oponent only to the point when I obtain the formulation of my position that satisfy myself. I enjoy formulations.
