The Futility of Arguing on the Internet, Redux – The American Catholic

Posted by

Some recent comments on an article in  The American Catholic have disturbed me enough (even when I agreed with them) for me to repost a piece about the futility of arguing on the internet. It’s my view that comments should seek to persuade, rather than to vent.  This rarely seems to be the case.  Most of the time we’re “preaching to the choir,” addressing those who agree with us.  And when people do disagree, it’s rarely by means of rational discourse.  Sadly, I’m as guilty of venting as some whom I criticize.
