Most of us are, to some extent, "Web Warriors." From time to time, most of us have gotten into long, contentious, bitter, occassionally even abusive arguments over one issue or another, on subjects ranging from global warming to whether or not somebody likes the newest television drama. (in my case it was with people I personally knew, and over matters of heavy weight, but the experience nevertheless made me think of this question)
A great amount of time, energy, and morale is spent on these arguments, and frankly, winning or losing one doesn't really change the world or even one person's life very much. Still, people invest heavily in winning these arguments...to a point that most would deem fairly crazy.
To what extent would you, personally, go to win an Internet argument, and how much does it *really* matter to you? If you say that it doesn't matter to you, then why do you bother doing it at all?
