Also in discussion people just want to talk shit instead of having a proper discussion, they think it's all about winning and force feeding their opinion to others. You end up with shitters arguing asinine and irrelevant points just so they can feel "right".
I more or less agree here. It's always seemed a little ironic to me that you will get infracted for not staying staying on topic in the offtopic board. Typically I just cba to post there because of the standards
the whole point by point thing in discussion is real double edged sword. it's efficient for dissecting arguments with someone, but you also get what small and pig have been doing the last couple days, arguing whether or not Turkey is a western country for whatever reason. it's easy to get distracted and argue, like pig said, totally asinine and irrelevant points.
although you aren't the best carrier of this message, i think you enjoy trolling in discussion more than anyone else ;p
