    I have a lot of experience with people trying to convince me of things.

    And you are welcome to take the advice I didn’t give to you in the first place and throw it in the trash.

      how much experience do you have with people convincing you of things?

          if the original statement is useless (it’s not a question, so i’m not repeating it) then my question should be more useful in the context of that useless statement, considering i have a specific word removed that changes the entire meaning of the question.

          well no that was people trying to convince you, i can try to convince you that the sky is yellow for example, but that’d be fucking stupid.

          I’m just curious how many people have actually managed to convince you of something.

              i doubt it, but i would assume you have some sort of anecdotal references somewhere, considering most living people can recall things and discussions with other people, especially more involved ones.

                You asked me how many, not for examples. You’re just moving the goalposts because your original request was not answerable.

                  i didn’t ask you for an example, i’m just curious how much of “people trying to convince you” ends up being “people convincing you”

                    And I’m telling you I don’t keep a running tally. I have no idea why you expect me to be able to answer that quantitatively.
