I think in some cases I got into arguments in this forum. Not often but sometimes. I think because my posts are sometimes controversial and I have some clear stances on politics, religion, sexism,, conspiracies etc. It is obvious not everyone will agree with me.
But honestly even if people call me naive for people some things on these issues I don't really care. I think I have good arguments and ad hominem arguments rather show that people don't have substantive arguments to make their point.
Moreover I am not that emotionally on some heated topics. I try to avoid to consider my opponents as stupid, evil or childish. Maybe I am wrong and they are right. And I just have not recognized my thinking fallacies or biases.
I think our view on this world is often shaped through life experiences and your own biography. I can understand that in cases when you have made very bad experiences with a certain group of people you are more careful with members of this group. But I am against hatred on innocent people and I try to point that out.
But in the end it does not really matter to me. I can try to win an argument or prove that I am right and the other person wrong but what is the benefit? What do I get from that? I don't get money and I don't get fame. We are here in an anonymous suicide forum with several thousand members who cares about me enough? People are often more focused on their own probmlems. This is not a debate club. We have different opinions that is okay. We can disagree, we can argument about something but we should respect each other. I know sometimes the debates can get heated and personally this is sometimes too stressful for me. I just stop to answer in such threads. Who cares who wins? If I notice it affects badly my mental well being I just stop the conversation. I think this is the most healthy approach for me.
