Anyone else find that they frankly, just can't be bothered with internet arguments in the same way they used to be?
It used to be I'd endlessly argue a point in a thread until I really started getting worked up about it. Now? I just don't want to deal with the hassle, I'll make my points on a subject, maybe reply a few times to deal with responses then, unless a thread goes in a different direction, leave it at that. If it's a subject matter that stirs a heated debate, I'll even stop myself going back to it once I've gotten my point of view across.
It's even becoming the case where I start typing a rant or response and look at it and think 'nah, I don't want to go down this road'. I know I give and take a lot of flak on the football threads, but that's to do with the fun of banter rather than emotive political debate.
People don't change their opinions easily and they won't do it through a single conversation 99.9% of the time so there's little point on getting multiple people worked up about something which may be pretty petty.
Other people's views? Do you get more worked up than you should on forums and chat rooms?
