Title: Okay this might be a bit of an odd one, but here goes!<p>I&#x27;ve come to the realization that when I&#x27;m communicating online, particularly in chats, I&#x27;m really argumentative.  It&#x27;s like if someone writes something that I disagree with, I&#x27;m compelled to launch into a logical argument with them right there and then.  I&#x27;ve realised it&#x27;s a bad habit and I likely come across as boorish.<p>The weird thing is, I don&#x27;t think I used to be like this.  I love debate and hang around forums and HN a fair bit when online - maybe that&#x27;s the issue? It&#x27;s not that I actively want to &#x27;prove someone wrong&#x27;, but part of the way I learn is through argument; expressing my disagreement in the hope that the other person will prove me wrong and I might learn something.<p>So I&#x27;m throwing it out there to the HN community - anyone else in the same boat? How did you deal with it and break the habit?
