After a lot of reflecting on how much of a complete dick I can be in certain situations, I've come to realize my triggers. From here on in, I am going to strive to not get so fucking angry under these circumstances.
It's important to have belief's. Have them. But BE PREPARED TO KICK THEM TO THE CURB.
If you are discussing a topic and find yourself nutpicking, stop what you are doing. Do not post. You are not Sean Hannity and you will only alienate yourself.
If you are discussing a topic and find yourself addressing 80% of the rebuttals, give yourself a bit of a pat on the back but then have a good sit down and ask yourself if this is something you're cut out for.
Right or wrong, do you address every point brought before you? Yes? Awesome my human, you're doing it. We're going to get somewhere. But, you need to ask yourself if you wear your underwear on your head. If it's the latter, well, you get what you get.
There are a lot of smart people here but too often important points are ignored in hopes their viewpoints can "win". I have no idea what you will win, but you're a dumbass.
Stop that.
