A member on the site on your former ideology that caused you to turn away from your former ideology and to the other side.


How often does that actually happen, though? I mean, not just changing one's opinion on a single issue, but changing one's entire political perspective because you realize that there's a guy arguing for your side who is so bad at arguing his points that he actually pushes you over to the competition?

Once, twice, or thrice a year, maybe a dozen if you are lucky. It really needs only one place in any case.

Besides Hippo/Nevanmaa...

DrekoBlaria, several posters on the Israel/Palestine thread (don't remember the names off the top of my head, except Yehuddah), and that's all from the top of my head. To be fair, it is a bit late here.

I recall Cosara causing The Rich Port to become an atheist.
I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

Interesting. From personal experience, I've been known to turn on people who were supposedly on the same side as me for piss-poor debate tactics and sloppy reasoning, but that's never caused me to question my own beliefs. Only a convincing counterargument can do that, or being proved wrong by the course of events.

Swith: It's because you're so awesome. God himself refreshes the screen before he types just to see if Nightkill has written anything while he was off somewhere else.

It's Nightkill. He's been there so long he rents out rooms to other people at a flat rate, but demands cash up front.

I'd like to say something that makes me seem humble and grateful, but I don't think I could pull it off, so instead I'll say that there's a party in my pants, and everyone who nominated me is invited. BYOB.


Grats for winning my prestigious award. :clap:

It's alright. I think the subject was bound to return to ... that ... when NSG Culture & The Rules won Best Thread.

BTW, did you decline awards? My figures show you winning several of them.


Not decline as much as question some people's nominations of me for some awards, like the Excellence in Posting one. I suppose the awarding went fine, all things considered.
