I mean, if it's like contentious, then nah, no point in it.

But if it's just to explore different perspectives, or play devils advocate for the sake of challenge what you know and believe and it's done so in a pretty chill manner, then sure...

(Tbf tho, on the internet, it's usually contentious) 😶

@Fishy doesn’t matter you should still argue rationally and stick to the point until they bugger off or block you

@Ferise1 nah, I like to observe, can't observe them in their natural habitat if they block

@Fishy what’s the point in observing them? How is that helping the world?

@Ferise1 helps me gain insight and understanding into how they tick.

Sorta like looking under the hood of a car and knowing how things work.

It kinda helps in the long run because the more you know then the more you can adapt ways to get through to them.

It's not just about planting a seed, it's about knowing how to garden

@Fishy so you do engage with them

@Ferise1 yeah occasionally, just not when they're being contentious 😶
