Is online arguing a waste of time?

"Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, regardless of who wins you're still retarded."

(yeah, sorry, had to be said )

Good article and i definately agree, and it's kind of why i don't post in any of the MRA forums, i use it as a source of infomation more than anything. It would be a great place to start stuff but i can't really see the point.

Bear in mind that in order that there be "good information" for you to grab and use, someone has to be "looking out for it and posting."

As for the special olympics, it's a social outlet for the participants.  A place to learn and practice principles of fair play - just like sports for "normal" people.  MRA boards can be a place of support and staying in touch with/relearning one's place in humanity versus staying isolated and angry.  The needs there are similar.  The smarter ones from each of those groups take away knowlege and skills to apply in their lives.

So...

People are posting here to argue the point that posting here to argue points is a waste of time...

Well done.

That's kinda funny, but actually the thread was about how it is a waste of time to argue with feminists. :bareit:

It started out that way, but...

"No point in arguing with feminists. Not even much point in arguing among ourselves."

Ok, Powder-Monkey, but I wanted to use that emoticon somewhere.

You are right it did morph. I guess I shouldn't argue the point.
