Give props here to anyone who made such a compelling argument that you changed your mind on an issue. I expect this to have zero replies, but it's worth a shot.

Dan Bernstein and youth football. I followed the evidence and withdrew my son from contact football.

There were also several here who changed my mind about gay marriage. I now support marriage equality. Chus probably led the way on that, but I can't recall for sure.

shakes changed my mind about Dominek Hasek. I was always partial to the Original Six guys, Hall, Plante, Sawchuk, and then Dryden and Roy. But shakes convinced me that Hasek is the greatest goalie ever.

I think most of us NBA heads realized how good LTG thought Kyrie Irving was during the finals.

There wasn't one specific person, but MANY on here convinced me to jump ship on Cutler.

I used to believe that the problems in this country were more race than class. Mitch Cumstein made a comment one day that got a younger Nas to reevaluate his thinking. I've evolved on the issue.

Not really. I think Cain has had an okay career with a really good peak for a very short time. That's kind of what I always thought. If anything One Post got me to change my mind on Chan Ho Park.

Yeah, okay. I mainly meant he convinced me that Cain was better than Park. I never thought Cain was a horseshit pitcher. I'm just career-focused. A couple nice seasons do not a career make. I'd probably argue that Colon has had a better career than Santana too. I don't think someone that disagrees is outlandish though. Santana at his best was much better. I don't think Quintana is horseshit either. He's useful. I just don't think he's some kind of monster ace.

ERA vs. wins argument changed nothing. (ERA wins)

WAR argument changed nothing. (WAR is a bunch of geek bullshit)

The Mike North is a jerk argument got me thinking. (I'm somewhere in between)

Kevin James sucks (No way!!)

Bigfan (I'm still in shock at the turn of events.)


I liked these guys coming in to this place but my opinion has changed a little bit: Danny Mac,Lawrence Holmes, Mully & Hanley and Murph.
