Be honest. How often do you do this?

.....To the point where it prevents you actually getting on with someting important in the real world.

For me, it's about once a week that I lose reason and feel I have to fix the interwebz in favour of trying to set my own house in order.

I can relate.. Only, usually I am the guy that's on the other end that's wrong....

Well, yeah. But I am always right!!!

At least once an evening. I usually recover pretty well, but SWMBO is losing patience!

Guilty. Along with other things that keep me up like designing logos for the homebrew or trying to come up with funny cartoons about why I hate work.

Guilty. Sometimes it seems my only rule of debate is "it ain't over 'til you're writhing on the floor covering your head with your shirt and screaming 'you're right! you're so right!" Does anyone have an app for that?

Innocent here, and living proof that ignorance is bliss. I simply don't know enough to argue with others like that.

Stay away from the debate forum, LGI, and everything will be just fine

Oh ya. Like THAT will happen!

PTN

Too often!

Used to be a daily ritual at a different forum. I was able to cut my ties with said forum though. It helped that they banned me from it.

Never... anymore. It took some time, but correcting folks on the internet is no longer a hobby of mine.

About 5 or 6 times a week. Since we have a new baby it's not a big problem, since nothing happens in our bed but sleep.

Everyone is an idiot except for me!

I got banned from an artist's forum for speaking my mind and not conforming enough. Damned fluffy kitten paintin' bitches! They just didn't appreciate burning butterflies or.......well, anything non status quo really! Bitches!!

Are we talking magnifying lens, or lighter fluid?

I can relate 8-9 hours per day. I work for the federal government... Fixing the internet would be easier...

Last night I had to tell myself, "I know someone someone is wrong on the internet, but put the laptop down and read your son the book". haha

Anyone else noticed the severe lack of debate forum regulars in this thread? :cross:

I gave up having arguments online many years ago. Seems everyone is a keyboard warrior these days, having the "guts" to say what they want and how they want in ways you know they'd never have the guts to say to you in person.

Not worth the stress IMO...no point getting in a foul mood because of some joker you've never met and never will.

Never. Since very few people change their opinions, regardless of the facts, why bother?
