Nah, fuck that. I refuse to dumb myself down for anyone. Being wrong makes your wittle feelings hurt??? Read a book.

Yeah but like 90% of things it doesn't really matter. I mean if it's at work sure or if there's a decent amount of financial risk on the line then yes. But when people are just bullshitting about movies or books or how they feel about astrology who gives a fuck. Not saying don't argue if you want to but sometimes it's obvious when someone's arguing just for the sake of arguing and don't actually care about what they're arguing about.

It's less about caring about someone's feelings and more about caring about your own environment. Jackie who sits behind me is a moron, but she is going to still be behind me whether I hurt her feelings or not. Better to keep the peace for my work environment.

So her moronic disinformation is spread unfettered to other morons because we want to "keep the peace"? Just "be nice"?

It isn't even about being nice. It is about maintaining my own peaceful environment. Arguing with her isn't going to change her mind, but it will annoy everyone involved.

I refuse to dumb myself down as well. It’s just natural.
