When was the last time you said "Oh, sorry, I was wrong" during an argument?

Verbatim · August 27, 2015, 10:11:05 PM

People are always telling me how stubborn I am.

But rare is it that you actually see anyone concede defeat over the Internet.

I think everyone else is just as stubborn as I am, frankly.

alphy · August 27, 2015, 10:13:48 PM

since i don't like to argue, i'm quick to quit and/or just say "oh yeah you're right"

but the last time i did it? uhh idk last week?

DAS B00T x2 · August 27, 2015, 10:15:50 PM

I'm never wrong.

TB · August 27, 2015, 10:15:56 PM

Earlier today around dinner time. I was wrong about a schedule for a thing I'm doing tomorrow.

Edit: I feel I do it when necessary. Maybe even a bit too much but I'll chalk that up to me being Canadian.

Hell if I remember. Probably not too long ago.

The last time I had an actual civil debate that went like that, was May last year on b.net IIRC.

I usually don't form an opinion strong enough to care about arguing about something until I know what I'm talking about, but IRL I tell people I was wrong or accept getting corrected on the daily.

SecondClass · August 27, 2015, 11:34:48 PM

This is like 8th grade psychology lol

yeah belief perseverance is a thing

this isn't some big discovery

velox · August 28, 2015, 02:48:07 AM

I generally stay out of arguments and drama on the internet. I can have sensible discussions, but if it turns into an actual argument it's often because the other person starts to get offensive.

That generally only happens when my opponent is too stupid to use actual logic though, so if they resort to insults I'm probably in the right.

When it's a calm discussion, I have no problem with being corrected as long as it's done respectfully.

Jester · August 28, 2015, 03:33:10 AM

If I'm wrong I'll just insult them and make shit up

Super Irish · August 28, 2015, 05:08:13 AM

Uhhh...

Last night actually.

Ender · August 28, 2015, 05:38:28 AM

CK97 · August 28, 2015, 06:19:03 AM

Don't remember when it was but I do admit whenever I'm wrong.
