It has taken me a long time and many hours of personal experience (is that redundant?) to learn that if after point and counterpoint two people don't agree, it is very unlikely that they will come to agreement with further argument.

So unless one is looking for an evening of fun, arguments and trolling, it's best to stop there. I'm sure the people of friendfeed wish I had learned this 3 years ago. :D

I disagree.
- Akiva
That's not really a point, but I disagree with your disagreement.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Although, I'm not exactly sure what you are disagreeing to, so yes.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
In all seriousness, I'd go a few rounds of point/counterpoint before I assess whether it's worth further discussion.

Alex, according to Steam you've been playing APB Reloaded for 2 weeks straight. Please log out.

Agreed with Akiva. I have frequently been in argu-sations where one party or the other wasn't really swayed (or had their viewpoint expanded) until after about 3 or so rounds. After that, the likelihood definitely falls off a cliff, though.
