If I have a strong enough opinion about something that I would post repeatedly about it on the coffee room then it is very unlikely anyone is going to tell me something that I do not know or a viewpoint that I did not hear before that will change my mind. Nor do I believe there is any chance of changing the minds of those who have strong opinions on the topic who I’m disagreeing with.
There is however a chance that both I or or they or some of the readers may moderate their opinion as a result of these conversation.
There are some posters who I don’t respond to because they are either trolls or too emotionally tied up in the topic to talk to. Others I actually want to hear their view even if I won’t agree.
