    This is why I tend not to reply. I make a post and if someone replies with “actually you’re wrong” I just move on with my day. I’ve never seen a reply chain 12 comments deep where the two people arguing come to a reasonable compromise.

        Yeah those are beautiful when you find them lol. I’ve always wanted to be a part of one. Its on my posting bucket list.

        Related, i always wanted to be a part of a music lyric chain too, and it finally happened! It was one of my last good experiences on Reddit. I still think about that day, what a glorious day it was …

      I tend to reply more often than is probably good for me not because I care about changing that person’s mind, but instead the others that are reading.

      Welcome to the internet. I don’t see the point of banning someone for a post that no one will ever read again after 12 or so hours.
