CopperCicada Hm, I don't totally agree with all of this.
The purpose of discussion or debate used to be to test the veracity of one’s beliefs, or persuasion.
I agree here. In addition, I like to challenge other's on their beliefs to see how strong they are. If all it takes is a few pointed questions and a snarky comment or two to throw you off and upset you...well...how strong are those beliefs then?
To change the beliefs of others.
Don't agree. And in fact, if this is your sole purpose, you probably aren't going to have a good time. In my experience, this only serves to galvanize those opinions.
I see you have returned and unblocked me. It's nice to see you.
Hope you have a better experience this time around.
