I have a feeling everyone knows who I am, and those who don’t haven’t blocked me yet.
it’s fine. I’m not going to apologize for my opinions because that’s somehow worse than defending unpopular opinions.
I’d rather be the person who owns their hill and dies for it than someone who runs from hill to hill because the group thinks it sucks.

I mean, you just mentioned that. Of course someone will disagree, but most probably wont bother. I just wanna know, do you exclude gaining a new perspective from this? Because I’m exceedingly strong willed when encountering illogical or otherwise short sighted points. But sometimes folks just show me a new perspective and I am compelled to agree. Doesnt happen often except in tech questions but here we are.

I am completely open to new perspectives and have changed my position based on someone else’s opinions. that’s just how we learn and grow.
I will not change my opinion because someone said it’s dumb or personally attacks me. if anything, I’ll double down on that hill just to spite them.

In that case I’m glad we met. Have a nice day. :)

People love to jump to personal attacks instead of actually explaining themselves

When people do that I often think I said something that hits home, but they don’t want to admit.

I know what you mean. When I know what I’m talking about, I am also strong willed. My primary issue is when people come at me with an attitude from the jump. If someone approaches me with normal conversational respect, even if they are a capitalist or something, I am happy to have a cordial chat; if it’s rude from the get go? I will tell them they deserve the death penalty.
Tech issues are a little easier, but those tend to be proffered by the most obnoxious morons who also need to be put in their place by their superiors. People who say stuff like “decimate means reduced by 10%” and pretend technical decisions are entirely objective.
