@BlackGeneral I praise your swift conquest.
The first time I remember thinking, "Huh, guess I have grown up a little" was when I made the conscious choice to turn down an internet argument, despite being halfway through typing my response. It was over whether or not you could correctly (in a linguistic sense) identify Brooklyn, New York as a city. (It's a borough; New York City is the city.) I was half a paragraph in to my reply when I stopped and went, "...This is really pointless. I shouldn't argue over something like this", deleted my reply, and just continued quietly lurking whatever forum it was I was on at the time. In retrospect, the whole thing (even my self-assessing thoughts) was silly, but it was genuinely what I felt in the moment.
