Anyway, a 180° turn around is rarely admitted by anyone... online or offline. It takes time and probably "unconscious thinking" for a mind to change.


Ponrauil
very true.


So, complete change of mind. No.

However, what's more important: I've been exposed to views I would have never seen otherwise and I have learned to appreciate what I didn't before and that is more important to me than a change of opinion.
