It's getting rather hot on the network these days, and I wonder if all of this flaming has any real impact, or if it is just a lot of people letting off steam. Has anybody changed a belief based on something that they heard on netnews, or something that they read as a result of a netnews item? I don't know for sure, but I would suspect very few people change their views. If you have changed a belief send me mail (DON'T POST IT!). By belief, I mean how you feel on a significant issue, like religion, abortion, social security, etc. By change, I mean really change (like today I believe in god because of something I saw in net.misc). I will post a summary of how many people changed on what views to the net. Maybe it will discourage people from trying to convert eachother and encourage open discussion.
