Ehem. That would be very unusual.
...ever changed their mind and agreed with someone of the opposite political persuasion?
I love trench warfare.
Ehem. That would be very unusual.
The concession of minor points, while haRDLY unheard of, is still pretty rare.
Can't say as I recall any online conversions. Anyone else?
I can't say that I recall anything specific, but I do know that there have been conversations in this forum that have caused me to think very seriously about a position I've taken on some subject, mostly through the presentation of thoughtful counters or alternatives to some of the basic premises that underlie my ultimate conclusion. I don't know that any of those have caused me to completely change my position on an issue, but I also don't really come here with the belief that all of my opinions are bulletproof.
Your way is alien to the ways of this forum but, hi. How you?
Somebody else posted a thread like this once.
Maybe there was another one too. And that's just in the three or so years I've been infesting..err...investing...this particular subforum.
It has happened. No one notices.
Exactly. It happens more often then people thing. LNG in particular is good at this.
The problem is that the parrots make the loudest noise.
Thanks Manny. I know I've changed my mind on a few various topics, thanks to some good argumentation on here. I know others have as well: for instance, WC admitted he was wrong about the President having the authority to declare war (and sustain it for more than 60 days) without Congressional approval.
No. Never.
People only come here to confirm what they think they already know.
People don't come here with an open mind and a disposition to maybe learn something new.
I remember having a discussion about the death penalty on here that changed my view.
It happens, usually, in small degrees over time. Not alot of catharsis threads here.
You're dead to me now.
I've never looked at it that way. I take my previous post back. I've decided that I've never changed my mind about anything on here.You're dead to me now.
YOU LIE! GFY!!
darrin finally admitted to lying. does that count?
I know Winehole has swayed me, if not changed my mind entirely. RG has had some effect at time (at others discussions with him make me dig in my heals). Other posters I will definitely pay attention to what they have to say (FWDT, Manny & others)
it has happened, here is proof:

Rumor has it Boutons just slapped a Palin 2012 sticker on his 1975 AMC Gremlin.
Doubtful. Repugs are less likely to budge from their stances b/c of the inherited ignorance in their families. Repugs are the reason that there's some truth to Lamarckism.
I've learned plenty from those I consider the better posters here (FWD, scott, LN, WH, MB, ES, 101, and many more, etc)... don't know that it completely swayed a position, but certainly added richness to the analysis.
