I found this to be true as well. I started off as an extremely rigid thinker, and it's my contact with people holding diverse views on and offline that have changed that. I'm still highly skeptical, occasionally bordering on pessimism, but I'm a much more flexible thinker. I don't seek to judge as much as I just try to understand perspectives. I really doubt that could have happened, at least in any reasonable amount of time, without the internet.
