Online is an excellent opportunity to teach, and even if people disagree with you or refuse to understand you, you leave behind a memento for other people to potentially eventually read, so even if it is impossible to reach the person you are specifically talking to, there can be multiplicative side effects of that conversation whose reach goes beyond anything you can imagine.
That being said, there are people that just want to say their piece or dunk on somebody and then move on and they don’t care about the side effects.
So, like everything, take it with a grain of salt, but I still think it’s worth the effort to communicate, to teach, to share when you know something or when you have a fundamental belief in something.
