March 2025: This seems to be a common occurence on   /. lately. I got into the same sort of interaction with someone a few weeks back. He just wanted to argue with everything anyone said. And then you go look at his history and that seems to be all he could do. And each time it was the same format. At least the guy arguing with me didn't 'break' once he couldn't argue anymore. That guy would just keep going forever, even if you said the sky was blue, he was going to argue about it. ===  # Common Discord These verbal sparring matches plague our forums now, Where men of endless argument hold court.
