    Personally, if I were being a dick for whatever reason and knew I was right, the thing that would absolutely make my day would be seeing them trying to double down and make some shit up despite getting caught being wrong. Even better if you ghost me. It means I’ve won and you’re being immature about it.

    But if somebody actually admitted they were wrong but points out I was being a shithead about it? Then I’d feel bad.

      Well, I mean you’re right about all of that. But, if I’m wrong and I decide to engage you anyway. It’s not really about proving myself right. It really becomes more of a how much time can I eat, and how frustrating can I be.

      See, you miss the point. Once I know I’m wrong and the other person is a dick. I’m not trying to be right anymore. It’s only about stealing your time. I am time rich. I have nothing but time. The longer I can keep someone on the hook with half cocked facts and almost getting it the better. I’m a house husband and it literally breaks the monotony of cleaning, and being a chauffeur.

      This isn’t something I do all the time. Generally, I spend my time just sharing my old person wisdom. For that matter I haven’t had a problem since coming to Lemmy from Reddit. I’m sure it’s coming. But, people here seem generally more pleasant.
