What happens more often (be honest)

Do I:

1) Say something stupid enough for people to not respond afterwards?

2) Convince people of my side.

3) Cause you to get tired out, so you don’t feel like responding?

I think it’s one of the 3.

For me it's usually 3, but that's not unique to you. That and a mix of getting a better understanding of the opposing belief, which often makes more sense than I originally gave credit for, or is closer to my own than it first read as.

I dont focus on any of those.

Instead, now I focus on comparing arguments and claims, which can sometimes unintentionally cause one of those 3.

Eh, lots of different reasons.

1 and 3

I don’t feel like responding

I see the paradox you created!

Mostly 1. Well maybe not “stupid”, but it seems that you open anything that come across your mind as a new thread.

1: Rarely. Though people here tend not to ask many questions at all. So I don’t know.

2: I have no idea. People tend to change their minds slowly with strongly held beliefs and it isn’t like they’ll admit anything.

3: This is the most common. I get tired for multiple reasons. Either the posts become too much to respond to so I stop altogether, or my opponent doesn’t respond to everything so I don’t.
