The author asks when was the last time you changed your view based on an online argument. Now ask yourself when the last time you changed your view based on somebody else's argument. That's probably even more rare because I expect very near to 100% of people browse similarly to myself. I might read a post or two from a couple of guys arguing on whatever topic, but I quickly lose interest and move on. The only exception would be if I'm looking for a spot to also 'jump in'. But when it's just you and somebody else - you're performing for an empty theater 99.99999% of the time.
