    As said before, most peple dont just 'disappear' because they are wrong. They disappear because they are fed up hitting their head against a brick wall. Some people will not admit that they are wrong, but will continue argueing despite being proved to the contrary.

    Quite true; I've taken that time-out myself on occasion.

    Also nicely put; rest assured, I am not so insistent off-line.

    In "non-political" mode, I could easily be mistaken for someone who is, at times, wrong.

    Only a close inspection would reveal the fallacy of such thinking.

    It is not ok to be wrong when you claim to be right.

    As for the truth.............it is hardcore facts that matter, not one's own fictitious assumptions.

    The truth indeed hurts. And some people just can not handle pain.

    Many viewpoints are utterly ridiculous, and we should not be shy of dismissing them as such.
    Preposterous drivel, but I mean that in a good way.

    well i for one dont like to be proven wrong , but that doesnt mean im going to leave , its just really bad for my ego to be proven wrong , but how else am i going to learn , i really give people a chance to state what they think and if right i accept i was wrong , and continue in my pursuit of the truth

    Whilst I agree "long diatribe" is a tad inelegant - you do know when you have been long diatribed. It invariably invoves ones brain turning into a particularly runny brie and attempting escape through the ears.
