Are you tired of going into controversial threads and having people not discuss things, circlejerking, or using emotional responses in place of logic? Us too.

This weekly thread will focus on the sometimes painful art of being wrong.

I don't mean not having an opinion and then forming one, I mean having an opinion, and then having that opinion changed with new or more accurate information.

Some Starters (and don’t feel you have to speak on all or any of them if you don’t care to):

  • When was the last time you were wrong? What about something somewhat major?
  • What was it regarding?
  • How did it make you feel?
  • What do you feel is the best way to correct someone with an ingrained opinion?
  • Is it easier online or in person?
  • When do you give up on talking to someone?
  • Would you be open to a new thread type here where we create a Steelman post as a group? (eg. We start from questions and end up at THE post / article for finding information on a touchy subject)
