Almost nobody changes their mind in a comment war. Save your energy for conversations with faces.

Comment threads are built for performance, not persuasion. Everyone arrives with an audience watching, and backing down in front of strangers costs more than being wrong does, so the whole structure rewards digging in. You can be completely right, spend two hours, and move nothing.

Notice the pull to type the reply, and the feeling that this one will land. Close the app and have the argument with somebody whose face you can see, where changing your mind is survivable. Keep your energy for the rooms where it can do some work.
