I read something a while back that changed my responses on these forums. I think many on these type of threads may be suited to contemplate.

It went something like this: Think about what it takes to get you to change your mind or take a new position on something you value. Now imagine what it would take for you to effect the opinion of a stranger on a forum that has been making the same arguments for years. Now think about all the time you're likely wasting trying to convince them.

I personally decided conversations and questions are good but the same regurgitation of crap from the same people over and over really was just a waste of time trying to convince them it's crap. Just something to think about. But then again it's cold outside and maybe someone will get luck and swing the pendulum for someone, haha.
