Does anyone know whether this had any impact on relations?
My experience with seeing discussions online doesn't give me much confidence in the persuasive ability of "here are logical reasons why what you're feeling is wrong".
- afarrell 5y agoOnline discussions are a lot more scatterbrained than sitting down to read a book. People are more willing to take a second & more logical look before responding when they cannot tweet back. Also, this has a lot of reasons why the reader is right to feel a certain way.
- rgoulter 5y agoI saw a comic from 1898 "Un diner en famille" https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Un_d%C3%AEner_en_famille https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Un_d%C3%AEner_en_famille which I understand the captions to be "Let's not discuss the Dreyfus affair" and "they discussed it". I won't disagree that the internet can exasperate things like this.. the comic feels _too_ familiar in the internet-age.
