That sounds like a fun way to get back into it, good luck!
Sometimes I wonder what goes on in the minds of some people, is it really that difficult for you to admit you were wrong in an argument instead of doubling down?

Not everyone approaches online discussions from a place of good faith. Very often, people just want to spew their feelings to others and have them be an anonymous sounding board. They just want someone to agree with them. They don’t actually want to engage in a back-and-forth, or more importantly, learn anything. So when there’s a bit of resistance, they can sound off, and when confronted with facts or evidence that go against their beliefs, then of course they’ll double down, because they were never interested in learning anything. Not everyone is like that of course. It comes down to why they’re there to discuss anything to begin with.

To me it sometimes just seemed like their pride/ego just gets in the way of it and it just doesn't allow them to back down but it seems it can go many different ways and seeing all of your comments kind of opened a few more thoughts for me:void:

An oversized ego is usually involved, and I've wasted many hours of my life replying to such people on this forum. Even if you manage to undeniably demonstrate that they're wrong, they'll either say they still think they're right or insult you and storm off. Like Walter said, they aren't interested in having an exchange, they just seek validation for their ideas.

I've got a framed vinyl of Susumu's Kyusai no Gihou on my office wall, just next to my computer. The other day, I noticed a small dead spider on it. I guess I squashed it without remembering to remove it. So I've been letting its corpse hang out next to me like I'm the fucking Crypt Keeper. But today I decided I'd just clean it off. So I lean over with a tissue, and surprise—that little guy's alive! It was never dead at all. I apparently never smashed it. It's just been so still I assumed it was dead. So this time, I let it live.
Got some cavities filled today. Good to finally get some dental work done. Please remember to take care of your teeth everyone.
