Isn't it their choice what to do with that information?
yes it is, and often they choose to further argue about that info
I have been, and suppose I may have convinced a person or two :)
They did not get convinced with your arguments , they went silent because they respect your pirship. :p
Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS
thats why I said "I suppose I may have"..that was a very wishy washy maybe maybe not sort of non committal statement crafted purposefully and specifically for this possibility.
Same goes for Azkar/Ehsan/TLK bro too 
..
Yes baroon ka adub aur ahtram chotoon ka qoomi fareeza hay. 
Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS
although i dont really care to convince or be convinced, if it happens it happens if it does not it does not.
I have not been able to convince TLK about lobster not being haram in 10 years, or for azkar to get me the VAIO he promised me when he asked me to join his team :D
that’s what we are doing.. 
Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS
what is the difference between convincing someone and leaving someone without an answer, like speechless because of your strong points. Just because I dont know how to answer an argument, hence chose not to answer it does not mean that I am convinced. Right?

or not engaging in the discussion because you simply dont care for it.
Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS
There are a lot of intellectual people on GS( or it seems) and some of the conversations do have some wisdom but i don't want to make something part of my believe only by reading on GS because i myself don't have any research on those topics. As believable and rational certain things sound there still possibility of bias in these debates.

You are right and the right argument can come to your mind later , when you think it through.
Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS
I have convinced many ppl if not all that I am not NOT smart.(with out any serious effort )
When the truth is, it is NOT true at all.. trust me

If you do not have enough knowledge , then how can you declare any argument biased or unbiased .

You're not making enough effort to convince us on this one.
Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS
So far I have conviced myself that some people cannot be conviced :)
Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS
So far I have convinced myself only. By discussions I have reinforced the arguments that were forming in my mind :)

Seriously. I agree with you 100 percent , it is not some people who cannot be convinced , it is other way around , there are some people in this world who you can convince majority is hopeless.
Re: How many of you ever convinced anyone on GS
It is just not about those three forums, mudslinging and arguments can arise in any forum, even video:rolleyes:
As for the other argument, yes if the person is not ready to be convinced the fight is just going to escalate and not die down. It is very hard when ego come’s in to the way and when both of the are stubborn fools.
