My husband finds me argumentative.

I try to be thoughtful both in person and on the net but I am not always successful. Certain issues frustrate me. I used to be on a forum where questioning someone's reasoning was considered non-supportive. All opinions were valid and entitled to respect. The most common example was alternative medicine which was seen as valid as science based medicine if it made you feel good. Oh for crying out loud, not all opinions are valid. Some are downright idiotic and based on fallacious thinking and superstitious nonsense. I had to back away from posting because I think I was getting a reputation for being a sour puss. I think I would post more there if I had some support, but I clearly did not fit into the culture there.

I did get into a couple of heated arguments on Bike Forums, resulting in a person putting me on their ignore list.
