ConvinceMe: Three Ways to Argue Online

I'm glad I am late to this party as I don't have time to take on arguments ,the way I used to on the whatthefuck.com forums , hell about 3 hours a day  from the first time  I got online was spent trying to  wear down people with my combination  of foul grammar, Socratic  scattering and when all else failed logic  as I understand it. 

I stopped arguing for fun , Erin may disagree on that,  and now only go after those that invite it.  These sites though are interesting,   people love being right, once  we get into competitive arguments for cash  I can see this talking off nicely . Sadly the  most popular debates are   all of the "it seems to me" rather than "it is"  but then again I used the word popular. 

In short you can see the kind of logic that people use to support their political opinions and that's rather interesting, scary, but interesting. 

So IMHO these sites  real value is debatable.
