A man convinced against his will…

Many people have already heard the old phrase, but it came to mind today.

“A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion Still.”

After reading through and/ or scanning through different post / threads and some of them going very long, I realize that some people will not lose an argument, regardless of whether they’re right or whether they’re wrong.

There are some posters after reading some of their post over a period of years I would be Very reluctant to engage them on any controversial topic.  Not due to being intimidated, but not having the time or the energy to go back-and-forth and realizing that some of them would become very hostile…

There’s even some techniques that I’ve done for years that others have not done, but if they don’t like the technique then all of a sudden it’s illegal at least in their mind.  Would I be able to change their mindset? Probably not..  

 There was an investor on here sometime back that was promoting a particular method that I’ve looked into before and saw what I considered shortcomings in the technique.  I pointed them out and it became apparent that the gentleman had been doing this for years, so obviously it appeared to be working for him… so just because I was not comfortable with it did not mean it was not working for him or that it was illegal. 
Oh well I guess,  I started a new thread without simply tagging into someone else’s this time. Lol.
