I used to be in that camp, but one thing I realized over time was I didn't want to be right: I wanted everyone to admit I was right. And eventually I (mostly) realized that I can be both "right" (in my own head at least) and happy because I no longer was basing my feelings of happiness on the beliefs and actions of others. This is exponentially more true on the internet. You have trolls who will never admit you're right because they feed off the argument itself. Eventually, as well you will find yourself fighting against someone just like you in a zero sum game that will drive both of you to anger and frustration. But I could be wrong. :)
