Yeah, you’re right.
Most of the discussion on the boards aren’t really about convincing the people who are discussing. Usually the people discussing already have their minds made up. The discussion is mostly for the sake of people following along who might not have their mind made up yet.
Usually the arguments here are blatant enough that if a person is willing to see the truth they’ll be able to, and if they can’t see it already it’s probably because they’re not willing to.
But sometimes the arguments posted here can help people respond to the same points brought up in daily life by people who may not know any better.
And sometimes something the Obots say causes me to see a different angle that I can use for research. Jamese777 inadvertently showed me something that I want to research now. Something that can give me clues as to what actually happened and why.
Normally I do just bypass the posts, which is a more efficient thing to do. Sometimes I just have to fight back.
My house looks like it would be better for me to not waste my time right now though, so your advice is well-taken. =) My husband will thank you. lol
