I at least have modified several of my views since being on this group (and FOAR). It generally takes a while, and involves lots of discussion, but it has happened.
For example, I now have a greater belief that comp may be correct than when I was first introduced to it, when it seemed completely outlandish. Now, after asking any number of stupid questions and receiving sensible answers, it seems like it could, perhaps, be outlandish enough to be true. Bill Taylor recently made a post on FOAR in which he argued that nobody ever modified their views when posting on forums, and everyone just argued for their own ideas. I replied that if what he said was true there was no point in him saying so, because it wouldn't have any effect; and that if he *did* manage to persuade anyone to agree with him, that would immediately disprove his point. He didn't seem as amused as I'd hoped... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
