Dogs And Cockalorums

Over the years, being part of many online forums, covering many topics, you come to realize that many people aren’t honest debaters. They are in whatever cult of their minds, and no rational discussion will get through. Many argue to argue, some are fools, some are fanatics, some are knaves, and some are trolls. You are expending your life energy on these people. I remember debating dog issues on a Yahoo forum and getting nowhere. There is nothing new under the sun. It doesn’t matter the topic… it is… 

A total waste of time. 

Do what you want, but in my case, my goal is that if I am going to say anything on any topic it is going to be in the form of a personal conversation or private message. If you get those from me, then you can be sure that I hold you in higher esteem that most others. Real people that I know as real friends are the only ones deserving of my brainpower and opinions on any topic. They have skin in the game. I might slip up from time to time, but I always end up realizing it was a mistake and then I get back to doing what I do best: real dogs with real people.

Don’t debate a cockalorum. They will do more harm to themselves and their opinions than anything you’ll try saying to educate them.

Plan accordingly.
