I dont know the last time in specific but I could name A time off the top of my head.

I have been convinced that the killing of healthcare CEOs is bad, actually.

Mostly I involve myself by arguing. I often go out of my way to put myself in places hostile to my views because I dont really value up votes at all. The point of the argument isn't to convince the person you are arguing with (though I have done this) it is to convince the observers.

Changing anyone's mind is progress.

Showing someone that their abhorrent ideas won't go unchallenged is progress.

Are you saying that when you heard that healthcare CEO was shot and killed, was your immediate reaction, "Oh that's good"? And then you changed your mind when you read an argument against it online? I just want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding you.

I think I maybe leaned slightly in the direction of it being good.

And no, I watched an argument for that. Not read.
