What Pebs said.

Doesn't surprise me those two are involved. I'll bet one beginning with V is either involved or wants to be, but I'm not going to go scoring points there as that would make me just as bad.

I think you can changes people's opinions but not their beliefs. That's if i'm getting the question right

I believe there are two kinds of people: 1. The person who debates to a point that he or she can accept that they are wrong and freely admits so thereby learning from the debate 2. Those that are so stubborn, no matter how much convincing, they will never back down. My old boss used to be like this and I asked him once about it. He said, "I never backdown.. Backing down is a sign of weakness. There is no room for weakness". Personally, I see this as form of ignorance and arrogance to be honest.

Myself on the other hand, can be convinced that I'm wrong and I have changed my opinions. However, my beliefs are much deeper and they will never change but I tend to keep them to myself.

That said, I'm going to say no. Why, because without one-to-one communication, some of the arguement is lost. Hard to explain but in text, important information can be either lost in translation, simply not read or understood. ???

Nail/Head/Hit.

I love the posters that post with Authority about things they have No actual experience in

I also love the Holier than thou crowd that Never do Anything wrong

It seems the Interweb not only makes people Brave but it makes them an Authority on any subject they have recently Googled
