Yup. I try to realize if I'm re-replying with basically the same thing I already said. Once the conversation has looped, it's time to stop, they haven't gotten my point and likely won't.I am convinced that there are some people and ideas that are served best by just the right amount of talking. In real life, these people are often held in place by the constraints of actual conversation. On the internet, sometimes they just keep posting forever.
or if I wrote a long reply. Good sign that I wasted my time, and I delete it without posting which is a smaller waste of my time and none of the blowback.
I've got to reach the next stage of not replying or posting to achieve Nullvana.
