Still think about that random AOL chat room guy from 1997

I was in a dial-up chat room about obscure movies and this one dude just lit into me for saying I liked The Wizard of Oz. He went on a full 10 minute rant about how it was "massively overrated" and how I probably never even saw the 1925 version. I was like 14 and just wanted to talk about flying monkeys. He kept pasting these giant blocks of text about silent film history and then logged off before I could even reply. For weeks I tried catching him online again but never did. That one random argument stuck with me more than any of the nice conversations I had there. Has anyone else had a total stranger in a chat room just tear into them over something small and disappear forever?

Yeah I used to think arguing online was pointless. That kind of stuff actually changed my mind.

@wade_young86 Online debates are just entertainment, not real life.
