Oh but I generally do. Its when people refuse to listen to mine in return that I ignore them. People can disagree with me, that's fine, but what I get is disagreement and insult. Not debate. Not anything worthy of me continuing to speak to them like adults.
What did I give up? Bloodlust, cruelty, a burning rage that I could never quite shake, a sadistic alter ego the world is better off without.
I gained. I gained my life back. And I refuse to use the time I have left arguing with idiots who refuse to see any point but the one they hold to.
