    You don’t genuinely debate in good faith and with true open mindedness with people opposing your points of view for this long and still remain firmly with such extreme opinions.

    He wasn’t debating, he was putting on a show. I’ve seen people like that. You prove their argument wrong and the next day they’ll repeat it again with someone else.

      This - people like this who pretend to debate while resolutely refusing to actually listen or learn are so utterly insufferable.

      You can tell them from a mile off because they always exude a nasty aura of thinking they’re better than literally everyone else.

      Debates are mostly for show though. It’s not about bringing the opponent to the other side. It’s about convincing the audience.
