I know when I am beat in a thread or out of my league. I get an education every day from this site. I know some things and others know things I don't know. Only a fool picks a fight when he doesn't stand a chance. I choose to admit my certain areas of ignorance and learn from others.

LOL - join the crowd! But just because someone posts something doesn't make it a fact. I learn by researching their responses - especially in primary source documents. Some posters simply accept information posted on a website, or the opinion of others, as concrete proof. When I'm wrong I'll admit it, but some never do.

Oh- His posts didn't change my opinion. That a man has more zeal over an issue than you do doesn't make him right or correct. But if I don't have the effort or will to try and correct him then I will admit defeat. It doesn't mean I think he is correct or true. It could mean he has truly beat me in an argument. Or it could just mean I don't take the argument seriously enough to waste my time on.
