Yup. I will “respond” to so many things, but I tend to not post the response. Just typing out my thoughts is usually enough, and when thinking more critically of what the motivation of my response is, it usually tends to boil down to “I want this other person to think I’m correct”. But that’s exactly why they responded first, and then it turns into an argument. No one is trying to learn, we’re trying to win.
Yepp, most arguments are like this… people have also become a lot more opinionated than they used to be thanks to the internet.
This actually happened to me yesterday and I typed my comment out 3 different ways until I gave up. Wasted 10 minutes of my lunch break trying to figure out if I needed to be subscribed to the community first to comment lol
