I have to admit that I definitely meet some people who are here arguing in bad faith and/or trolling, but I have also meet people who don't share my opinions that turned out to be reasonable people. We might not change each others mindsets while discussing, but I have learned much about my own opinions when I had to defend them in a fair discussion. I had to reflect on why I believe in certain things and that sometimes ended up cementing the things I already believed in and other times not. (I have to admit, those sorts debates helped me to grow out of my very narrow SJW "Kill-anything-I-don't-agree-with-with-fire" mindset, so I might be a bit biased...) Goodbye and have a good life!

I've had the same experience here. :) It's one of the most surprising and coolest experiences I've had on Saidit.
