You don't argue to convince the other side, OP. The other side never changes its mind or at least no more often than you do yourself.
You argue to convince the lurkers, the dudes who are indecisive on the issue at hand.
Don't think that someone reading a clear opinion and "Hurr no wonder u a virgin" will not make up his mind quickly on whose side is in the wrong.
